Please note that unless you have access to a (low cost) PCB making facilities and/or require a CAN or Spacewire interface I would not recommend making this board. There are a number of commercial boards which are far more cost effective to prototype LEON than this board. Also soldering a PQ240 pins surface mount IC is not easy.

A popular board used in the LEON community is the XSV board which is manufactured by Xess corporation. You can find more prototype boards on the link page

• Zuken CADSTAR files of the prototype board (204Kbyte)  (Corrupted file removed, will try to replace once I searched my backups)

• Gerber PCB files (136Kbyte)  (Replaced 02-March-2003)

• Prototype board documentation (1.4Mbyte due to schematics and PCB layout images, Replaced 02-March-2003)

The schematics and PCB are designed using Cadstar. You can download a free Cadstar Design Viewer from Zuken's website.
