Open TODOs (marked in-script)

  1. T113 eLQFP128 exposed pad -> GND is mandatory (only one dedicated GND pin: AGND=91). Add EP in the footprint.
  2. RGMII CLKIN 25MHz reference source (KSZ SYNCLKO or crystal).
  3. Unused analog rails (VCC-LVDS/HPVCC/TVOUT/TVIN) — confirm per datasheet §5.3 whether they may be left unpowered.
  4. AVCC filtering (ferrite bead recommended per datasheet).
  5. 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.
