Questions

How big is the RVPC Rev B PCB?

It measures 31 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RVPC Rev B use?

38 parts. 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 RVPC Rev B KiCad files?

From the OLIMEX/RVPC repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HARDWARE/RVPC_Rev.B/RVPC_Rev_B.kicad_pcb and its schematic HARDWARE/RVPC-Rev.A/RVPC_Rev_A.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RVPC Rev B design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
