Overview
Canfdshield is an open-source printed circuit board by feaser, from the feaser/canfdshield repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 4-layer board of 53.9 × 53.3 mm with 18 parts on 43 nets, routed with 60 tracks and 10 vias.
It is built around the TCAN3413DRB. Its parts include 6 connectors, 3 capacitors, 3 resistors, 1 IC and 1 diode.
Main components

README.mdCanFdShield
CanFdShield is an expansion board with a CAN FD transceiver, specifically designed for ST Nucleo-64 and Nucleo-144 boards. It features the standard Arduino shield connector layout, making it easy to install this expansion board on your Nucleo board.
With CanFdShield you can connect your ST Nucleo board to a CAN bus. This assumes that the STM32 microcontroller features a CAN or CAN FD controller with CAN-RX on connector pin D15 and CAN-TX on D14.
The Texas Instruments TCAN3413DR CAN FD transceiver was integrated into the design. This 3.3V CAN transceiver works with classical CAN and optimized CAN FD performance at 2, 5, and 8 Mbps.
This board was designed with KiCad and you can find all schematic and PCB design files in the .\hardware directory. You are free to use this design for your own projects.
For testing and verification purposes, the PCB was manufactured and assembled by JLCPCB. It's fully functional. This is what it looks like when installed on a Nucleo-64:
If you would like to order a batch yourself, you can find the Gerber files in .\hardware\gerber. You'll also need the BOM and footprint position files. These are located in .\hardware\assembly.

Questions
How big is the Canfdshield PCB?
It measures 53.9 × 53.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Canfdshield use?
18 parts, built around the TCAN3413DRB. 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 Canfdshield KiCad files?
From the feaser/canfdshield repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/canfdshield.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/canfdshield.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Canfdshield 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).
