Questions

How big is the BeagleBoy PCB?

It measures 127 × 120.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BeagleBoy use?

48 parts, built around the TPS61032PWP. 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 BeagleBoy KiCad files?

From the CapelessCrusaders/BeagleBoy repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is BeagleBoy.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the BeagleBoy design in my own project?

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