Revision as of 21:24, 8 September 2017

The fx2grok device is intended to be the tinyiest possible Open Hardware FX2 eval board (that can be used as 8-channel logic analyzer).

The schematics and layout are done from scratch in Kicad, and are released under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license.

Using the open-source fx2lafw firmware (and sigrok, of course) you can use this device as 8-channel logic analyzer.

Goal

  • Make the tinyiest-possible Open Hardware Cypress FX2 based 8-channel logic analyzer.
  • Optional: Make a tiny 3D-printed enclosure, and/or an "enclosure" using resin (example) with the device (including probes) ideally looking similar to the sigrok logo in the end.

What is NOT the goal?

As you may know, there are tons of FX2-based logic analyzers (and tons of clones) already. There's not much use in creating yet another "standard" device.

The goal of this little hobby project is thus NOT to make a better device, or to make a cheaper device, or anything like that. The only goal is to have it as tiny as possible (it's more of a "just for fun" project).

Hardware

  • 13mm x 13mm PCB
    • 0.8mm PCB thickness, 5mil traces, 6mil trace clearance, 8mil via drill hole diameter, 5mil annular ring.
  • Double-sided 2-layer PCB/layout, 0402 SMD components soldered on both sides.
  • USB micro-B connector.
  • 1.27mm 5x2 pin header.
  • FX2 in 56pin QFN package.
  • Small SMD 24MHz crystal.
  • No buffer or other input protection (not even 100 Ω resistors for each probe).
  • No EEPROM, the device will enumerate with the standard Cypress FX2 "unconfigured device" USB VID/PID (04b4:8613).

Download

The schematics and PCB layout is available from the fx2grok git repository:
