Which microcontrollers do boards using the PCA6408APW use?
Most are built on FPGA (1).
How big is a typical board using the PCA6408APW?
The median is 94 × 47 mm, and 50% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the PCA6408APW?
By GitHub stars, Base board by GlasgowEmbedded, with 2,216 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the PCA6408APW 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.
