VERTEX: common questions
What microcontroller does the VERTEX use?
The VERTEX is built around the STM32F405RGTx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the VERTEX PCB?
The VERTEX measures 86.8 × 48.3 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the VERTEX?
124 components, from 78 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the VERTEX design files?
From the MiksBalodis/VERTEX repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the VERTEX design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with MiksBalodis. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the VERTEX 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.
