From the project
KiCad schematic and PCB project for the SPARTACUS-HF Chireix transceiver.
KiCad schematic and PCB project for the Chireix design with global-label connectivity.
1. Install KiCad 10.0.5, including its standard symbol, footprint, and 3D model libraries. 2. Clone this repository. 3. Open v1sch.kicadpro`.
The custom symbols, footprints, legacy Eagle libraries, and custom 3D models used by the design are committed below libraries/. Both KiCad library tables use ${KIPRJMOD} paths, so a clone can live in any directory on Linux, macOS, or Windows.

Chireix: common questions
What microcontroller does the Chireix use?
The Chireix is built around the STM32G474VETX, from the STM32 family.
How big is the Chireix PCB?
The Chireix measures 100 × 175 mm, has 6 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Chireix?
435 components, from 94 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 Chireix design files?
From the vpcsln/chireix_pcb 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 Chireix design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with vpcsln. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Chireix 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.
