Questions

How big is the 8-Bit CPU 32k PCB?

It measures 180.3 × 112.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 8-Bit CPU 32k use?

89 parts, built around the 74HC245D, 74HC161S, 74HC173D and 74HC00D. 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 8-Bit CPU 32k KiCad files?

From the slowcorners/Minimal-UART-CPU-Dev repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD/Minimal UART CPU 512K SSD/8-Bit CPU 32k.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 8-Bit CPU 32k design in my own project?

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