Open Source electronic design
While we have put countless hours into creating the FunKey S, it wouldn't have been possible without the availability of many open source resources from other hardware and software projects. This includes the LicheePi Zero, which has its CPU in common with the FunKey S, as well as many software projects, such as U-Boot, Linux, Busybox, Buildroot, and SDL. As a tribute to all these great projects and because we strongly believe in the public availability of knowledge, we are committed to make the hardware and software of the FunKey S open source as well so that others can benefit from the same gift we were granted. In the prior two updates we provided the source for the FunKey-OS firmware as well as the mechanical 3D files for the FunKey S enclosure, so this week we present the electronic hardware design in source format. This includes the schematics and layout in KiCAD editable formats, an HTML interactive BOM for easy manual part pick & place, datasheets for all major components, and Gerber production-ready files. Basically, you have the keys!
