KiCad Mini PCI Express (mPCIe) Library

KiCad Library for creating designs with Mini PCI express (mPCIe) cards. Includes bits for both "host", a board you plug mPCIe cards into and "cards" themselves.

Library has;

Schematic components.

PCB module footprints.

KiCad templates (eventually).

Currently status is;

PCB module for "Dual-Use Socket" which supports "full size" and "half size" mPCIe cards.

PCB module for a "full size" mPCIe cards (including board edge).

Includes markings for "IO connectors" region.

Includes "F2" keep outs marked on the bottom silk screen.

PCB module for a "half size" mPCIe cards (including board edege).

Includes "H2" keep outs marked on the bottom silk screen.

Schematic component for mPCIe socket.

TODO list is;

Create a schematic component for a mPCIe card edge.

Add support for "Dual Head-to-Head" sockets

Create a schematic component.
Create a PCB footprint.

Create a project templates for a mPCIe card;

Create SMBus compatible schematic for auto-detection.
Create an example "USB2.0" only mPCIe card.

Actually verify the designs with real parts.

Build something cool.

Requirements for manufacture

To get a PCB manufactured which is "mostly" compatible with mPCIe cards you'll need;

1mm PCB width.
