Questions

How big is the USB GIGABIT Rev E PCB?

It measures 51.5 × 19 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the USB GIGABIT Rev E use?

59 parts, built around the SY8089AAAC. 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 USB GIGABIT Rev E KiCad files?

From the OLIMEX/USB-GIGABIT repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HARDWARE/USB-GIGABIT-Rev.E/USB-GIGABIT_Rev_E.kicad_pcb and its schematic HARDWARE/USB-GIGABIT-Rev.D/USB-GIGABIT_Rev_D.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the USB GIGABIT Rev E design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask OLIMEX before reusing the design.
