OBC Hardware

demoboard_v1: test board featuring RTC, flash memory, watchdog and SEL protection, to be tested with the TMS570LS0432 Launchpad board.

OBC_prototypeA: design for PC104 compliant OBC prototype, including onboard MCU, flash memory, SEL protection and power supplies. Includes all features of demoboard, interfaced to TMS570LS0714 MCU.

Kicad-Lib: SFUSat's common footprint and schematic symbol library.

Getting started:

Clone this repo In the obc-hardware directory, run git submodule init In the obc-hardware directory, run git submodule update

Open KiCAD, navigate to the project you're interested in. In EESchema, go to Preferences > Component Libraries

  1. "Add" a user defined search path, select the KiCad-Lib directory in the obc-hardware directory
  2. "Add" component library files and select the SFUSat.lib file in the KiCad-Lib folder
  3. Press ok.

Note: issues may arise when using relative paths. Select absolute paths by choosing "No" when asked if you want to use a relative path

Exit back to the KiCad home window and go to Pcbnew > Preferences > Footprint Libraries Manager > "Project Specific Libraies" tab:

  1. "Add Library"
  2. Nickname: SFUSat
  3. Library Path: ${KIPRJMOD}/KiCad-Lib/SFUSat.pretty

Questions

How big is the Demoboard v2 PCB?

It measures 95.9 × 90.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Demoboard v2 use?

129 parts, built around the FT230XQ-R, AP7331-WG and DMN2075U. 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 Demoboard v2 KiCad files?

From the SFUSatClub/obc-hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is OBC_prototypeA/demoboard_v2.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Demoboard v2 design in my own project?

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