Questions

How big is the 4m cy62167e x2 PCB?

It measures 83.8 × 49 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 4m cy62167e x2 use?

13 parts, built around the BA6162F. 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 4m cy62167e x2 KiCad files?

From the viciious/MD-32X-RAM-Cart repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 4m_cy62167e_x2.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 4m cy62167e x2 design in my own project?

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