Ordering PCBs

You can find the latest Gerbers attached to the latest Release

I recommend ordering from JLCPCB as this board was designed within their 2-layer specifications

BOM and Placement files for JLCPCBs assembly service are provided and can be found inside the Gerbers folder and the Gerbers.zip file found under Releases

Recommended options when ordering:

• Thickness: 1.6mm
• Surface Finish: ENIG-RoHS
• Gold Fingers: Yes
• 45°finger chamfered: Yes

Programming

To program the Flash, simply boot the latest lide-update.adf boot disk

The CPLD can be programmed using a Raspberry Pi as described by LinuxJedi
