Questions

How big is the 2bit cpu PCB?

It measures 80 × 75 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 2bit cpu use?

39 parts, built around the CD74HC161E, 74HC138, 74HC14 and 74HC153D. 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 2bit cpu KiCad files?

From the naoto64/2bit-CPU repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 2bit-cpu/2bit-cpu.kicad_pcb and its schematic 2bit-cpu/2bit-cpu-memory/2bit-cpu-memory.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 2bit cpu design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
