What's on the board
| Block | Part | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Management SoC | Allwinner T113-S3 (eLQFP128, SiP 128MB DDR3) | No external DRAM routing. Real pin numbers from datasheet v1.6 (see T113S3_PINMAP.md). |
| Switch ASIC | KSZ9477S (128-TQFP) | 5 copper GbE PHY ports + RGMII CPU port (port 6). Mainline DSA (microchip,ksz9477). |
| CPU-port link | T113 EMAC (RGMII, PG bank) -> KSZ port 6 | MAC-to-MAC, no magnetics, frees all 5 copper ports for users. |
| 5x GbE ports | Discrete GbE magnetics (YDS 30F-51NL) + plain RJ45 | Full 1000BASE-T (4 pairs/port). |

Open TODOs (marked in-script)
- T113 eLQFP128 exposed pad -> GND is mandatory (only one dedicated GND pin: AGND=91). Add EP in the footprint.
- RGMII CLKIN 25MHz reference source (KSZ SYNCLKO or crystal).
- Unused analog rails (VCC-LVDS/HPVCC/TVOUT/TVIN) — confirm per datasheet §5.3 whether they may be left unpowered.
- AVCC filtering (ferrite bead recommended per datasheet).
- T113 package footprint (
eLQFP128_14x14x1.4mm) — confirm or create.

Questions
How big is the Core PCB?
It measures 125.5 × 100 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Core use?
236 parts, built around the T113-S3, DS18B20, KSZ9477STXI and SHT40-AD1B-R2. 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 Core KiCad files?
From the KRuskowski/s5 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/core/s5.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Core design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask KRuskowski before reusing the design.
