C50506: common questions

Where can I find a C50506 reference design?

Each of the 4 boards on this page is a real design using the C50506. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.

Which microcontrollers do boards using the C50506 use?

Most are built on ESP32 (1), ESP8266 (1) and RISC-V (1).

How big is a typical board using the C50506?

The median is 73.2 × 57.2 mm, and 25% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the C50506?

By GitHub stars, RobotDriver by BerkeleyHCI, with 91 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the C50506 before building it?

Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
