Setup

KiCAD Library Setup

Run the following command to install the third party KiCAD libraries used in the project

git submodule update --init --recursive

This project uses components from digikey-kicad-library which is configured as a git submodule of this project. Git doesn't clone submodules of a project by default when the project it is cloned so this has to be done manually.

Questions

What parts does the Scu use?

27 parts, built around the LM3670MF-1.8 and LP5907MFX-3.3. 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 Scu KiCad files?

From the chiplet/kapine repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/scu/main/main.kicad_pcb and its schematic hw/motherboard/main/main.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Scu design in my own project?

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