Overview
Shard is an open-source printed circuit board by MalphasWats, from the MalphasWats/Spike repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 35 × 31 mm with 8 parts on 59 nets, routed with 185 tracks and 19 vias.
It is built around the ATMEGA1284-PU. Its parts include 3 capacitors, 2 connectors, 1 IC and 1 crystal. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

README.mdSpike
Spike is a handheld gaming console based on ATMega Microcontrollers.
I've been playing around with this idea for a long while and the Spike is the current 'state-of-the-art' for me.
The main spike board has:
- 128x64px monochrome OLED display
- Piezo speaker
- 7 buttons (plus reset)
- 3.7v Lipo battery
- Micro-USB port for charging & data
The shard board provides the brains and connects via an edge connector on the back of the main board.
Currently I'm using an ATMega1284p running at 16MHz.
I've written a little more detail on my blog.

Questions
How big is the Shard PCB?
It measures 35 × 31 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Shard use?
8 parts, built around the ATMEGA1284-PU. 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 Shard KiCad files?
From the MalphasWats/Spike repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is shard_1284/shard.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Shard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MalphasWats before reusing the design.
