PomeloCore: common questions
What microcontroller does the PomeloCore use?
The PomeloCore is built around the ATSAML21G18B-AUT, from the Microchip SAM family.
How big is the PomeloCore PCB?
The PomeloCore measures 40 × 100 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the PomeloCore?
156 components, from 63 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 PomeloCore design files?
From the robouden/PomeloCore-KiCad 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 PomeloCore design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with robouden. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the PomeloCore without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Microchip SAM firmware against it before you order a PCB.
