Which microcontrollers do boards using the RFM-0505S use?

Most are built on AVR/Arduino (1), ESP32 (1), FPGA (1) and RP2040/RP2350 (1).

How big is a typical board using the RFM-0505S?

The median is 74.2 × 58 mm, and 67% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the RFM-0505S?

By GitHub stars, Pico dram tester by schlae, with 161 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the RFM-0505S 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.
