hw-gimletlet

More full-featured breakout board for the STM32H7, including many expansion headers for daughter boards.

In active use for Hubris development and as a Swiss Army Knife around the lab. Generally when someone is speaking about a "gimletlet" the mean gimletlet2 "Glorified Gimletlet" as a vanishingly small number of gimletlet1's were built and used for some very early network bring-up.

Questions

How big is the Gimlet mgmt bringup PCB?

It measures 150 × 105 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.57 mm thick.

What parts does the Gimlet mgmt bringup use?

322 parts, built around the ICE40LP1K-CM49, TPS82140SIL, VSC8552XKS-02 and KSZ8463FRLI. 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 Gimlet mgmt bringup KiCad files?

From the oxidecomputer/hw-gimletlet repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is mgmt_network_gimlet1/gimlet-mgmt-bringup.kicad_pcb and its schematic gimletlet.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Gimlet mgmt bringup design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MPL-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
