Overview

Mini server is an open-source printed circuit board by Keyaan-07, from the Keyaan-07/Zenith repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 6-layer board of 85 × 55 mm with 159 parts on 301 nets, routed with 3,321 tracks and 447 vias.

It is built around the RK3328, TPS565201DDC and BQ25690RBAR, with the BQ29209DRBR, NT5CB256M16ER-FL and AON7262E among its other parts. Its parts include 75 capacitors, 39 resistors, 10 ICs, 9 connectors and 6 inductors. It belongs with the computers and single-board computers and power boards of this library.

Zenith

Zenith is a small single board computer made with the RK3328 which comes with 512 MegaBytes of DDR3 RAM. Zenith is built to run on battery backups along with USB Type-C power inputs. Features of zenith are:

  • Quad core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU
  • 512 MB DDR3 RAM
  • SD support
  • 100M ethernet
  • HDMI out
  • 24 bit audio
  • 1x USB 3.0 2x USB 2.0

I made this SBC because i wanted to locally host some slack bots. There is literally no other reason. I have not compiled buildroot because i'll be using a prebuilt version from ROCK64. A small reason for this is because my laptop probably cannot handle compiling linux.

Check out this project on KiCanvas!
To check schematics, please go to the above link, imaging every page and putting it here would clutter the README.

Assembly guide:

  1. clone the repo and head to production:
bash
git clone https://Github.com/Keyaan-07/Zenith
cd Zenith/hardware/production
  1. go to your preferred PCB manufacturer and upload the gerber files there.
  2. get the PCBA option for both(or one) sides.
  3. Build the firmware from the buildroot repo.
  4. flash it to the SD card using rufus.ie
  5. plug the SD card in and start the board.

Questions

How big is the Mini server PCB?

It measures 85 × 55 mm and has 6 copper layers, 0.23 mm thick.

What parts does the Mini server use?

159 parts, built around the RK3328, TPS565201DDC, BQ25690RBAR and BQ29209DRBR. 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 Mini server KiCad files?

From the Keyaan-07/Zenith repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/mini-server.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/DDR3.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mini server 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).
