SD Card Interposer

An SD-card-form-factor interposer that taps the card bus for protocol capture. Cutting the DAT1 and DAT2 traces forces commodity readers to fall back to the single-bit SD protocol, which an affordable logic analyzer can sample.

Open SDCardInterposer.kicad_pro in KiCad. Approximate build cost: $15.

Questions

How big is the GreatFET neighbor PCB?

It measures 70.7 × 53.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the GreatFET neighbor use?

27 parts, built around the M24C02-FMN6TP and TPS7A2033PDBVR-TP. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the GreatFET neighbor KiCad files?

From the HWS-XMS/SecureSDCards repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/greatfet-neighbor/GreatFET-neighbor.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/greatfet-neighbor/GreatFET-neighbor.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the GreatFET neighbor design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
