rc2014-compat

A respin of the RC2014 ecosystem. I don't have any opposition to building things out of SMD parts (in some ways, I find it easier to work with), so some boards might go that way to the extent that parts availability allows. Also, I'd like to keep all board sizes within the 100x100mm limit within which PCB fabs offer their cheapest rates (like $2 double-sided at JLCPCB, for instance).

Available boards will be listed below as I add them. KiCad 6 is required to work with the designs. Make sure to check out the repo with git clone --recursive ..., as the different boards are in their own repositories now, and each of them in turn pulls in other repositories for KiCad libraries.

rc2014-template

I took the board file from here and fleshed it out into a full template for use with KiCad. It supports the extended signals (such as NMI, WAIT, and the second clock), but not 16-bit CPUs...see below for 16-bit support.

Boards built from this template will fit backplane16pcie (see below) or any RC2014-compatible backplane. Some backplanes might be 40 pins wide; make sure you get pin 1 where it belongs, or bad things will happen.
