Which microcontrollers do boards using the ICS501 use?
Most are built on AVR/Arduino (1).
How big is a typical board using the ICS501?
The median is 50 × 51 mm, and 60% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the ICS501?
By GitHub stars, MegaAV Pro VA0 by RIP-Felix, with 47 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the ICS501 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.
