The crowdfunding campaign is live now: Jupiter Nano project page on Crowd Supply. It's fully funded, so we will definitely be making a batch of these boards. There's still time to get yours!

KiCAD files and software on GitHub at the links below.

  • 1 × Microchip SAMA5D27C-LD1G System on a chip (CPU and 128MB LPDDR2 DRAM)
  • 1 × Quorvo ACT8945A-305T Power management IC (PMIC)
  • 1 × Microchip MCP2200 USB-UART converter

    Jupiter Nano launched on Crowd Supply last Friday, and yesterday it was fully funded. So we're going to build a batch of these boards! The campaign is going to run for another five weeks, so there's still time to claim a board for yourself!

    Here's where to get one or get more info: Jupiter Nano on Crowd Supply

  • Beta testers needed

    If you have a project that needs Jupiter Nano, you can work on it in June or early July 2021, want to be a beta tester and are willing to report on your experience, get in touch, I'll have a few boards I can send out for people who will really use them: adam@starcat.io

  • Working hardware from the manufacturer

    I got fully working hardware from the manufacturer last week. So that means we can launch soon! I want to write NuttX drivers for the Flexcom SPI ports and get the NuttX board support files fully worked out... coming up in the next few weeks.

    I'm going through the Crowd Supply onboarding process right now, so I should be able to have a campaign live in late June or early July. Sign up on the email list at the Starcat Jupiter Nano page if you want to get notified!
