Farpatch Lite

A lite version of Farpatch -- a wireless debugger based on Black Magic Probe.

Differences from the full version

  • Farpatch Lite is smaller, and can fit into smaller areas
  • There are no level shifters or voltage regulators -- your target MUST run at 3.3V!
  • There are no damping resistors, which might affect signal integrity with the target
  • There is no separate UART connector -- UART is integrated onto the SWD connector
  • There is only one LED on the PCB

Farpatch Lite can be designed as a two-layer PCB, but a four-layer PCB stackup is preferred for signal integrity purposes.

Questions

How big is the Farpatch Lite PCB?

It measures 34 × 12.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 4.69 mm thick.

What parts does the Farpatch Lite use?

36 parts, built around the ESP32-S3. 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 Farpatch Lite KiCad files?

From the farpatch/hardware-lite repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Farpatch-Lite.kicad_pcb and its schematic Farpatch-Lite.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Farpatch Lite design in my own project?

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