Questions
How big is the RFSoC Frontend PCB?
It measures 165.1 × 44.6 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the RFSoC Frontend use?
72 parts, built around the TCM2-33WX+. 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 RFSoC Frontend KiCad files?
From the rcstephenson/rfsoc-interface repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RFSoC_Frontend/RFSoC_Frontend.kicad_pcb and its schematic RFSoC_Frontend/FMC_0.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the RFSoC Frontend design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask rcstephenson before reusing the design.
