openstm32hw README

The aim is to provide Open Source hardware designs for STM32.

This repository grew from a discussion thread on LeafLabs Maple forum:
http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=1303

It was initially triggered by ala42 who had released a first cut at libmaple for STM32F4:
http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=1268&page=2#post-7828

and siy's hardware design:

Subdirs:

	MM4 - Leaf Labs Maple Mini clone for 64 pin F1/L1/F4 processors
		in 0.8" width and 2 layers.

	Mini64 - STM32 development board for OpenSTM32
		 Features:
		 - Small (52x38.4mm) breadboard compatible design.
		 - Support for STM32F103/F2xx/F4xx in 64-pin packages.
		 - Uses Eagle 5.1

	Mini48 - Reworked version of Maple Mini suitable for DIY PCB production
		and on-board RTC crystal. Uses Eagle 5.1

	Mini48U - Ultimate version of Mini48. Still suitable for DIY PCB production
		but smaller parts (0402) and optimized layout allowed make it in the
		format of original Maple Mini with 0.6" pin header rows pitch.
		Uses Eagle 5.1

	Mini48SE - This version is very similar to Maple Mini, but it does not preserve 
		its pinout. It also heavily utilizes second side to achieve maximal possible density.
		As a consequence this version is probably smallest STM32F103Cxx board - it has 0.5" pitch
		and size only 50.5x15mm. At the same time board uses no extremely small components - all 
		resistors and capacitors are 0603 (one even 0805), LED - 1206, LDO - 1117.
		Uses Eagle 6.3.0
		The design is not yet tested.

	Mini64SE - Different approach to boards based on MCU in LQFP64 package. It has DIP48 format with 0.8" pitch.
		The design follows same approach as Mini48SE and utilizes both sides. Separate versions of design for
		F1 and F2/F4 series are provided. Version for F2/F4 uses different ESD protection and lacks external 
		disconnect cirquitry. These changes are necessary to enable F2/F4 chips work properly in all supported
		USB modes and with different powering (self powering and bus powering).
		Uses Eagle 6.3.0 
		Designs are not yet tested.

	PiXe-2: 'Stamp' format, 64pin STM32F103 MCU. Eagle 5.1
                Features: 
		- Dual-in-line 0.1" grid
		- 0805 or larger parts -> easier assembly
		- Internal Maple pins available & re-configurable
		- modest 10mil track/space rules DIY-able
