Questions

How big is the Earthboot PCB?

It measures 49.7 × 130 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Earthboot use?

44 parts, built around the AD8606ARZ and ADR423AR. 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 Earthboot KiCad files?

From the microresearch/mycelium repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is mycelium_pcb/earthboot/earthboot.kicad_pcb and its schematic small_mycelium/small_mycelium.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Earthboot 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).
