Questions

How big is the Cm5-carrier PCB?

It measures 82 × 155 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.51 mm thick.

What parts does the Cm5-carrier use?

138 parts, built around the EG25GGC-128-SGNS, MP3429GL-Z, BQ25792RQMR and TS3USB221ARSE. 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 Cm5-carrier KiCad files?

From the SPIRIT-org/SPIRIT repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is EDA-kicad/cm5-carrier.kicad_pcb and its schematic EDA-kicad/GSM-GPS.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Cm5-carrier design in my own project?

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