Zero3w
About the Zero3w PCB
Zero3w is an open source PCB design by Oru-star, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 32 × 65 mm, with 8 components from 7 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the TPS62086RLTR. By type, the board carries 3 capacitors, 2 connectors, 2 inductors and 1 IC.
From the project
Open-source KiCad design for a PCIe-to-M.2 carrier board for the Orange Pi Zero 3W (Allwinner A733). Breaks out the board's 18-pin PCIe FPC connector to an M.2 M-Key slot for NVMe storage, with an eye toward AI accelerator cards (e.g. Hailo-10H) as a longer-term stretch goal.

- Schematic: complete, ERC-clean (0 errors) - PCB layout: complete, fully routed including differential pairs, DRC-clean (0 errors; remaining warnings are accepted and expected: 0.5mm-pitch connector solder mask clearances, deliberately downgraded to warnings, plus two harmless orphaned-geometry exclusions) - Gerbers…

Zero3w: common questions
How big is the Zero3w PCB?
The Zero3w measures 32 × 65 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Zero3w?
8 components, from 7 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 Zero3w design files?
From the Oru-star/Doomsday-deck 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 Zero3w design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Oru-star. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
