From the project
Facet2 FabA PCB Clone
Development board for Xbox One / Xbox Series consoles, based mostly on blurry PCB images.
Allows for POST-Code monitoring (via I2C) and reading flash via SPI.
On some development kits, there are more features available.
KiCad files for the PCB / schematics EEPROM template for FTPROG STM32 firmware * FACET breakout board
* Devkit exclusive: Requires specific flavor of bootloaders or certain Certificate capabilities.

ASPECT2: common questions
What microcontroller does the ASPECT2 use?
The ASPECT2 is built around the STM32G031J6Mx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the ASPECT2 PCB?
The ASPECT2 measures 60 × 60 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.5842 mm thick.
How many components are on the ASPECT2?
116 components, from 42 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the ASPECT2 design files?
From the xboxoneresearch/ASPECT2-PCB repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the ASPECT2 design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with xboxoneresearch. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the ASPECT2 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.
