Overview

SL23-modem tester is an open-source printed circuit board by JitterCompany, from the JitterCompany/debug-tools repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 4-layer board of 120 × 107 mm with 229 parts on 235 nets, routed with 2,167 tracks and 708 vias.

It is built around the STM32L4R7ZIT6, MCP9701A-E/TO and W25Q256JVEIQ, with the BQ25672RQMR, SLG59M301V and CGA3E2X7R1H104K080AA among its other parts. Its parts include 97 capacitors, 57 resistors, 10 diodes, 9 connectors and 7 ICs. It belongs with the STM32 boards of this library.

Debug Tools for Embedded Development

KiCad projects for the small debug, programming and test boards used across Jitter projects. Each board has its own folder; manufacturing files are in production/.

Debug adapters

Most Jitter boards expose a single 6-pin Würth REDFIT IDC SKEDD footprint that carries both SWD and a UART. SKEDD connectors press straight into plated holes, so the target board needs no mating connector. The adapters below convert a debug probe's native header to that 6-pin cable.

BoardProbe sideNotes
BMP-REDFit-adapterBlack Magic Probe: standard 10-pin 1.27 mm Arm Cortex Debug header + 4-pin PicoBlade UARTthe 10-pin is the common Arm/MIPI-10 JTAG/SWD pinout, so most Cortex probes fit (UART via the separate PicoBlade)
HSprobe-REDFit-adapterhs-probe: 14-pin 1.27 mm STDC14STDC14 is ST's STLINK-V3 connector (Arm 10-pin on pins 3–12, UART on 13/14), so STLINK-V3 should fit too
JLink-REDFit-adapterJ-Link: standard 20-pin 2.54 mm Arm JTAG header + 4-pin PicoBlade UARTother 20-pin tools give SWD; UART on pins 5/17 is J-Link VCOM specific (else use the PicoBlade)

Questions

How big is the SL23-modem tester PCB?

It measures 120 × 107 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SL23-modem tester use?

229 parts, built around the STM32L4R7ZIT6, MCP9701A-E/TO, W25Q256JVEIQ and BQ25672RQMR. 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 SL23-modem tester KiCad files?

From the JitterCompany/debug-tools repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SL23-modem-tester/SL23-modem-tester.kicad_pcb and its schematic BMP-REDFit-adapter/BMP-REDFit-adapter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SL23-modem tester 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).
