Questions
How big is the MCD Rev2 PCB?
It measures 196.3 × 114.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the MCD Rev2 use?
85 parts, built around the SST39SF020A-70-4C-PHE, AS6C1008-55PCN, AP2114HA-3.3TRG1 and STM1001LWX6F. 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 MCD Rev2 KiCad files?
From the prrtzel/GeorgeOS-Single-Board-Computer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/KiCAD/MCD_Rev2.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/KiCAD/MCD_Rev2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MCD Rev2 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask prrtzel before reusing the design.
