Sporniket's 'ReSTe mignon' is a RE-make of the computer known as 'Atari STe', on a B5-sized (250×175 mm) PCB. Smaller, so 'cute', hence 'mignon'.
This is a project made with Kicad. I started this work from the conversion of the original Atari STe schematics.

First beta implemantion of the extension board holding the CPU in a PLCC68 package. This implements the extension port for CPU and Blitter
The first complete schematics of the mark0 milestone, starting from the conversion of the original Atari STe schematics.
- Added DIP-64 CPU port extension
- Removed T-filters
- Deleted circuitry related to PAL/NTSC and modulator
- Resolves #1 : Use 4-resistor packs wherever it is possible
- Resolves #2 : apply the pull-up fix to data and address bus
- Resolves #3 : Apply the DMA Pull up fix on databus
- Resolves #4 : Apply the 1772 pull-up fix
- Resolves #6 : Apply the reset fix
- Resolves #5 : Apply the fix for the video ghosting
- Resolves #7 : Assign SMD footprints to resistors pack
- Resolves #8 : Assign 1206 hand-solder footprints to non polarized capacitors
- Resolves #9 : Assign radial THT footprints to polarized capacitors
- Resolves #10 : Remove the C103
- Resolves #11 : Use the reference 'FB?' for the ferrite beads
- Resolves #12 : Use the reference 'CP?' for polarized capacitors
- Resolves #13 : assign 1206 hand-solder footprints to resistors
- Resolves #14 : assign smd footprints for ferrite beads
- Resolves #15 : assign smd footprints to the inductors
- Resolves #16 : assign smd footprints to diodes
- Resolves #17 : assign smd footprints to transistors

- Fixes #19 : Reinstate the external blitter for the mark 0 version
- Resolves #20 : Replace polarized capacitors CP101 and CP536 by unpolarized ones
- Resolves #21 : Change Q400 to Q405 from 2N3904 to MMBT3904
- Resolves #22 : Change Q500 from LM78L82 to UA78L08 -- add bypass capacitor on input
- Resolves #23 : Add internal ACSI port
- Resolves #24 : Add an internal port to make easier to plug a RGB2HDMI
- Fixes #28 : [BUG] Incomplete restoration of the blitter
Sporniket's 'ReSTe mignon' is made using Kicad.
The git repository use several submodules that one has to fetch in order to get the symbols, footprint and 3dmodels. One submodule requires python3 and GNU make to generate the libraries of symbols for integrated circuits.
Do not use Sporniket's 'ReSTe mignon' if this project is not suitable for your project.
To get the latest available models, one must clone the git repository and the submodules. Then some modules needs a build step to generate its libraries.
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/sporniket/reste-mignon.git
cd reste-mignon/kicad-symbols-generated
make
Then, open the project in Kicad.
A github schematic only release (with schematics in the release tag and name) will provide a PDF of the schematics
A github regular release will provide :
- A standalone Kicad project (all custom libraries included and ready to use)
- A PDF of the schematics
- A PDF of the silkscreen
- If applicable, a Gerber for boardmanufacturer. Some details may have been adapted for a specific manufacturer.
- If applicable, a BOM, and pick an place files, likely for a specific manufacturer too.
