2 open source boards using the SAM-M8Q

Real designs built with the SAM-M8Q, 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 SAM-M8Q

What boards using the SAM-M8Q are built for

SAM-M8Q: common questions

Where can I find a SAM-M8Q reference design?

Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the SAM-M8Q. 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 SAM-M8Q use?

Most are built on RP2040/RP2350 (1) and STM32 (1).

How big is a typical board using the SAM-M8Q?

The median is 81.1 × 71.6 mm, and 50% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the SAM-M8Q?

By GitHub stars, Kleinvoet by CMGeldenhuys, with 3 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the SAM-M8Q 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.
