7 open source boards using the xiao-ble
Real designs built with the xiao-ble, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

xiao-ble: common questions
Where can I find a xiao-ble reference design?
Each of the 7 boards on this page is a real design using the xiao-ble. 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 xiao-ble use?
Most are built on Nordic nRF (7).
How big is a typical board using the xiao-ble?
The median is 129 × 93.3 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the xiao-ble?
By GitHub stars, TOTEM by GEIGEIGEIST, with 2,042 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the xiao-ble 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.
