It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.
From the project
A raspberry pi hat to handle NMEA 0183 devices
Raspberry Pi B+ Hat ============================
Expansion Board ----------------------------
This is a project template for a Raspberry Pi B+ Hat.
This base project includes a PCB edge defined according to this specification. Both a thru-hole and a surface mount connector are provided, along with a different PCB edge for each. Just keep the PCB edge and connector type that you're using for your design and delete the others.

Nmea pi hat: common questions
What microcontroller does the Nmea pi hat use?
The Nmea pi hat is built around the STM32F030CCTx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Nmea pi hat?
The Nmea pi hat measures 65 × 56 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Nmea pi hat?
51 components, from 17 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Nmea pi hat design files?
From the ronangaillard/nmea-pi-hat repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Nmea pi hat design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which ronangaillard chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Nmea pi hat without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug STM32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
