From the project
Open-source E-ink monitor. Mirror of https://gitlab.com/zephray/glider
Open-source Eink monitor with an emphasis on low latency.
Note: This repo only contains the hardware design, the gateware running on the FPGA is my open-source Caster EPDC design. This README also contains information about the Caster as well.
This is a long document, containing not just information about this project, but also pretty much everything I know about Eink. Given it's a bit hard to gather information about Eink online, I think this is the right thing to do. Use the following table of contents to navigate around.

Glider: common questions
What microcontroller does the Glider use?
The Glider is built around the STM32H750VBTx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Glider PCB?
The Glider measures 90 × 80 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.0044 mm thick.
How many components are on the Glider?
356 components, from 65 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Glider design files?
From the Modos-Labs/Glider repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Glider design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license, which Modos-Labs chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Glider 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.
