README
README.mdRaven68k
Raven 68k is a simple Motorola 68k family based single board computer. The machine will serve as a learning tool for building a 68k based machines for learning on how to interface various chips and add on expansions for the architecture. It is also aimed to be a platform for learning on how to write firmware and operating system level code and how to implement the required logic in VHDL code to tie in all of the functionality required. We are interested on eventually getting Linux up and running on the hardware as the Linux/m68k is still maintained and it supports many of the basic building blocks.
The project will be documented to a blog along with datasheets of all the components used.

What parts does the Raven68k rev2 use?
78 parts, built around the 74LS373SC, DS12887+, SB140 and SRN5040TA-101K. 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 Raven68k rev2 KiCad files?
From the jkuituni/Raven68k repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/rev2/schematics/raven68k-rev2.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/rev1/schematic/raven68k-rev1/DUART.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Raven68k rev2 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jkuituni before reusing the design.
