About the PGM Pico Prog PCB

PGM Pico Prog is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by MiSTer-devel, published on GitHub under the GPL-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 80.5 × 78.1 mm, with 41 components from 18 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RP2350_80QFN, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the NCP1117-3.3_SOT223 and SN74ALVC164245DGG. By type, the board carries 24 capacitors, 9 resistors, 3 ICs, 2 diodes, 1 crystal and 1 connector.

It belongs with the retro computing designs in this gallery.

From the project

IGS PolyGame Master MiSTer FPGA core

The PolyGame Master (PGM) is an arcade system board released in 1997 by IGS. It has a lot of similarities to SNK's Neo Geo - cartridge based with multiple buses, heavily sprite focused graphics hardware, 68000 main CPU, Z80 for audio.

- Main processor: Motorola 68000 @ 20 MHz - Sound processor: Zilog Z80 @ 8.4 MHz - Sound chip: Wavefront ICS2115 - Graphics chip: IGS023

PGM Pico Prog: common questions

What microcontroller does the PGM Pico Prog use?

The PGM Pico Prog is built around the RP2350_80QFN, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the PGM Pico Prog PCB?

The PGM Pico Prog measures 80.5 × 78.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the PGM Pico Prog?

41 components, from 18 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the PGM Pico Prog design files?

From the MiSTer-devel/Arcade-IGSPGM_MiSTer repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the PGM Pico Prog design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-2.0 license, which MiSTer-devel chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the PGM Pico Prog without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
