Overview

EdisonBlockTemplate is an open-source printed circuit board by mogar, from the mogar/EdisonBlockTemplate repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 30.5 × 44.4 mm with 17 parts on 64 nets, routed with 500 tracks and 60 vias.

It is built around the FT234XD-R and AP7365. Its parts include 4 capacitors, 4 ICs, 2 resistors and 1 connector.

README

README.md

These are the hardware design files for a template Intel Edison Block. The Block form factor will work with the SparkFun Edison Blocks.

This template shows how you might implement your own Edison Block hardware, and includes a USB-serial converter in the schematic. The block itself is incomplete (layout still required). Add whatever functionality you want to the board.

KiCAD libraries

See also this repo for example code:

These hardware files were created with KiCAD. You may need the KiCAD libraries available here: https://github.com/mogar/KiCAD_libs When opening these projects in KiCAD, you may need to change the path to the libraries from the above link. This can be done in preferences->libraries in both the schematic editor and the layout editor. Make sure the libraries noted there point to wherever you put the above KiCAD_libs repo.

Questions

How big is the EdisonBlockTemplate PCB?

It measures 30.5 × 44.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the EdisonBlockTemplate use?

17 parts, built around the FT234XD-R and AP7365. 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 EdisonBlockTemplate KiCad files?

From the mogar/EdisonBlockTemplate repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is EdisonBlock_Template.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the EdisonBlockTemplate design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask mogar before reusing the design.
