4 open source boards using the DD5
Real designs built with the DD5, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

Microcontrollers on boards using the DD5
What boards using the DD5 are built for
DD5: common questions
Where can I find a DD5 reference design?
Each of the 4 boards on this page is a real design using the DD5. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the DD5 use?
Most are built on NXP (1).
How big is a typical board using the DD5?
The median is 260 × 70 mm, and 50% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the DD5?
By GitHub stars, Arena 12-18 s v0 by floesche, with 0 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the DD5 before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
