Questions

How big is the LinuxCore PCB?

It measures 52.5 × 57.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the LinuxCore use?

153 parts, built around the NUC980DK61YC, W25Q128JVSIQ, TPS562200DDC and MMBT3904. 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 LinuxCore KiCad files?

From the turgayhopal/LinuxCore repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/LinuxCore/LinuxCore.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/LinuxCore-v2/LinuxCore-v2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the LinuxCore design in my own project?

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