What boards using the ublox_SAM-M8Q are built for
ublox_SAM-M8Q: common questions
Where can I find a ublox_SAM-M8Q reference design?
Each of the 4 boards on this page is a real design using the ublox_SAM-M8Q. 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 ublox_SAM-M8Q use?
Most are built on NXP (1) and STM32 (1).
How big is a typical board using the ublox_SAM-M8Q?
The median is 82.2 × 72.4 mm, and 75% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the ublox_SAM-M8Q?
By GitHub stars, Tracker v1 by angelnu, with 22 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the ublox_SAM-M8Q 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.
