Board delta is an open-source printed circuit board by visionspacetec, from the visionspacetec/VST104-Delta repository on GitHub. It is a 6-layer board of 90.2 × 95.9 mm with 475 parts on 634 nets, routed with 8,497 tracks and 1,141 vias.
It is built around the MCP9804-E/MC, CDBQR40 and CY15B102Q-SXA, with the SP3012-06UTG among its other parts. Its parts include 162 resistors, 146 capacitors, 8 diodes, 6 ICs and 6 transistors. It belongs with the STM32 boards of this library.
This repository contains the KiCad project and other documents created during the development of Board Delta under VST104 project. This PC104 CubeSats module is a double redundant onboard computer accomodating all of the features of the Board Siera together with dual redundancy.

This double onboard computer PC104 module implements Board Sierra in full dual redundancy. The original Sierra module was extended with its own mirrored copy resulting in two independent OBCs. Both of them share almost the same layout. Only small changes in tracing around the main header and flip of debug & program connector were required. Thanks to this approach, no software changes of the two OBCs are necessary, and both OBCs share very similar electrical characteristics. There is no tracing placed in the middle-top part of the board, just under the "VST104 Delta" marking. This provides enough space for the implementation of killing/switching logic between the OBCs.
For more specifications check Board Sierra repository.

Two separate 2x4 female format connectors on both boards sides are used for debugging and programming. SWI and UART5 interfaces of the boarded STM32 microprocessor are wired to this connector, as shown in figure 3. This interface is fully compatible with STM ST-Link family programmers.

The comprehensive technical specification is split into 18 logically organized chapters:



It measures 90.2 × 95.9 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.57 mm thick.
475 parts, built around the MCP9804-E/MC, CDBQR40, CY15B102Q-SXA and SP3012-06UTG. 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.
From the visionspacetec/VST104-Delta repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is board_delta.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask visionspacetec before reusing the design.
