Overview

Kickswitch is an open-source printed circuit board by hansliss, from the hansliss/kickswitch repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 73.8 × 63.9 mm with 15 parts on 66 nets, routed with 436 tracks and 16 vias.

It is built around the ATMEGA328P-PU, SN74LVC1G08DBV and SN74LVC1G32. Its parts include 5 ICs, 3 capacitors, 2 connectors, 1 resistor and 1 diode. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

kickswitch

Kickstart switcher for Amiga 2000

A switch for cramming 6 Kickstart images of different size into a single EPROM and make them switchable.

Switching is done by triggering a RESET low signal for at least two seconds, which can be done from the keyboard by holding down CTRL-Amiga-Amiga.

Note that for some models of A500, you may need pullups on the address lines: http://bax.comlab.uni-rostock.de/en/hardware/amiga500/kickstart-eprom/

A jumper is provided to select between pin 1 or 31 for A17 - older A2000 and A500 models used the wrong pin for this.

Questions

How big is the Kickswitch PCB?

It measures 73.8 × 63.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Kickswitch use?

15 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-PU, SN74LVC1G08DBV and SN74LVC1G32. 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 Kickswitch KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Kickswitch design in my own project?

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