Firmware
Firmware for NanoDeploy is located in the firmware directory. Most day-to-day
operations are handled by that folder's Makefile.
Build environment setup
The setup process for TI's MSP430 toolchain is pretty miserable on modern Linux. See firmware/install-notes.md for details.
Uploading
Run make run to upload the code to an attached MSP430 development board.
Debugging
Run make gdb to upload the code to the attached dev board and start a GDB
server session. From a separate terminal, then run msp430-gdb. (The included
.gdbinit file should take care of all the necessary setup.)

Questions
How big is the NanoDD PCB?
It measures 37.8 × 10.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the NanoDD use?
34 parts, built around the MSP430G2452IRSA16R, GZP6816D, ZD24C128A-XGMB and HL2302. 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 NanoDD KiCad files?
From the LithosphereRocketry/NanoDeploy repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/NanoDD/NanoDD.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/NanoDD/NanoDD.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the NanoDD design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
