GoodFET10

The GoodFET10 is the first hardware revision of the GoodFET. Like all first-run boards, it has a few errata that must be patched before use. These inconveniences will be fixed in the GoodFET11.

CAD Files

Eagle CAD 5.x files for the design can be found in /branches/goodfet10 of Subversion, or as goodfet10.zip.

Errata

GOODFET10 Erratum Fix The GOODFET10 is missing a 47K pull-up resistor on the !RST pin of the MSP430F161x chip. Solder one like so.

Further, no crystals are present on this board. A 32.768kHz crystal must be patched onto the XIN/XOUT pins.

The board as first manufactured was too thin, so a wedge or a crimped USB extension cable is necessary for a tight fit. Future runs will be made at 0.078'' thickness.
