Questions

How big is the Ether PCB?

It measures 200 × 134 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Ether use?

210 parts, built around the TPS62290DRV, FT600Q-B-T, W25Q128JVPIQ and TXB0108DQSR. 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 Ether KiCad files?

From the korken89/ether repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/ether.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/ether.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ether design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask korken89 before reusing the design.
