UPDI and UART Serial Programmer

KiCanvas | Schematic | Board   

A low cost USB programmer for interfacing with both UPDI and UART from the same board

Unlike other UPDI programmers, this board allows access to both UART and UPDI without having to change the wiring between your programmer and MCU, making it easy to go from programming to reading debug data over serial.

This design makes heavy use of the JLC basic parts library to keep BOM costs down. At volumes as low as 25 units this board can be completed, assembled, and shipped for under $3 per board.

Questions

How big is the Updi PCB?

It measures 22 × 22 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Updi use?

16 parts. 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 Updi KiCad files?

From the stathopulos/updi repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/updi.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/updi.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Updi design in my own project?

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