About the EmptyBoard PCB

EmptyBoard is an open source PCB design by roberto314, published on GitHub under the BSD-2-Clause license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 100 × 100 mm, with 7 components from 3 distinct parts.

By type, the board carries 4 connectors and 3 capacitors.

It belongs with the retro computing and usb & debug tools designs in this gallery.

From the project

A modular 8-bit Computer able to recreate (nearly) every Retro computer of the late 70s to mid 80s.

A modular 8-bit Computer able to recreate (nearly) every microcomputer of the mid 70s to early 80s in Hardware without FPGAs (although an FPGA can be added). Can also be used as a teaching tool for:

VHDL or Verilog C RTOS (STM32F401 runs ChibiOS. Link: https://www.chibios.org) Python bash and linux in general (Olimex board runs linux with fbterm and tmux) Harwaredesign Timing of CPUs maybe Assembler SPI and I2C Interfaces CPLDs and FPGAs
