Questions

How big is the PiLogic64 PCB?

It measures 90 × 133 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PiLogic64 use?

20 parts, built around the PAM8403. 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 PiLogic64 KiCad files?

From the ThePangel/PiLogic64 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/pilogic64.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/pilogic64.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PiLogic64 design in my own project?

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