About the Tiebox PCB

Tiebox is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by quark-works, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 304 × 149 mm, with 79 components from 23 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the XC6206, USBLC6-2SC6 and W25Q128JVS. By type, the board carries 17 capacitors, 11 resistors, 4 ICs, 3 diodes, 1 crystal and 1 connector.

From the project

Labels are already assigned to the default pinout of the most popular firmware available as well as in stock parts for every component from LCSC. I recommend using the Fabrication Toolkit plugin that can be installed through KiCad's PCM.

Tiebox: common questions

What microcontroller does the Tiebox use?

The Tiebox is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Tiebox PCB?

The Tiebox measures 304 × 149 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Tiebox?

79 components, from 23 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 Tiebox design files?

From the quark-works/tiebox 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 Tiebox design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with quark-works. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Tiebox without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
