Overview
BlackBoxProbeMicro is an open-source printed circuit board by Squantor, from the Squantor/blackBoxProbe repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 4-layer board of 29 × 29 mm with 66 parts on 67 nets, routed with 658 tracks and 84 vias.
It is built around the STM32F103CBT6, DT1446-04S and BSD840N-VB, with the NTJD4152PT1G among its other parts. Its parts include 28 resistors, 11 capacitors, 5 diodes, 4 connectors and 3 ICs. It belongs with the STM32 boards of this library.

README
electronics/blackBoxProbeMicro/README.mdBlackBoxProbe Micro variant
A boxed clone of the black magic probe. The black magic probe hardware is good but I would like something more then just a bare PCB and a more suitable connector for the serial connection. This project is here to solve that need. Do note, support the people at blacksphere technologies by buying their excellent probe. I have made this probe to have a nicer boxed version that I can use. This version has mostly 0402 components and is housed in a smaller box.

Questions
How big is the BlackBoxProbeMicro PCB?
It measures 29 × 29 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.59 mm thick.
What parts does the BlackBoxProbeMicro use?
66 parts, built around the STM32F103CBT6, DT1446-04S, BSD840N-VB and NTJD4152PT1G. 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 BlackBoxProbeMicro KiCad files?
From the Squantor/blackBoxProbe repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronics/blackBoxProbeMicro/blackBoxProbeMicro.kicad_pcb and its schematic electronics/blackBoxProbeMicro/blackBoxProbeMicro.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the BlackBoxProbeMicro 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).
