This repo contains the schematics and PCB artwork for the Hackaday Supercon 2019 badge. It isn't as cleaned up yet as I want to be, but I hope it works as a reference. Note that there may be some older text and other files floating around in the repo as well.
There are some issues with the final release on the badge. They are collected here. If you find more, feel free to open an issue.
-
The PMOD connector I/O pins are reversed in contrast with the actual PMOD specification. As the Vcc and GND pins are not affected, the connector is still PMOD-compatible. Only the badge silkscreen and the schematics have the wrong pinout, the SoC and software is correct. (Ref here )
-
The SAO connector is messed up: the SCL/SDA lines as well as GPIO1/GPIO2 are swapped. Both the net names in the schematic as well as the silkscreen legend have this issue. Again, as Gnd and Vcc are in the correct locations, this does not influence the functionality.
-
The 8MHz clock oscillator is routed to a non-clock-capable GPIO. While Yosys/Nextpnr doesn't have any real issues with this, the official lattice Diamond software will refuse to use this as a clock pin. As a workaround, you may be able to route it to a clock-capable free pin, then use the input from that pin as a clock. (Ref here )
-
The buttons on the badge are not the intended 4.3mm model, but a larger one. This is caused by the wrong footprint; the footprint actually has the size of the button somewhere in the description, and the Chinese logistics guy dutifully went with that instead of the Taobao link or other things indicating it needs to be 4.3mm.
-
The badge cannot run from an USB power connection. This is intentional, as there's no nice way to feed 5V into the system without adding a fair amount of extra power supply electronics.
