Auxio board: common questions
What microcontroller does the Auxio board use?
The Auxio board is built around the STM32L496RGT6, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Auxio board?
The Auxio board measures 80 × 80 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Auxio board?
124 components, from 48 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Auxio board design files?
From the MatthiasGeorgImhof/Hardware_CSAT repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Auxio board design in my own project?
It is published under CC-BY-NC-4.0, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.
Can I test firmware for the Auxio board without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
