This section describes supported microcontrollers which are used for supported OpenDeck boards and which can be used to create custom board variants. It also lists peripherals for each MCU which can be used in OpenDeck firmware.

ATmega2560

  • 8-bit architecture
  • 4kB of EEPROM memory
  • 256kB of Flash memory
  • 8kB of RAM
  • Requires 16MHz crystal to run OpenDeck firmware (no other values have been tested)
  • 4 UART channels
  • 1 I2C channel

UART pinout

Channel Rx Tx
0 E0 E1
1 D2 D3
2 H0 H1
3 J0 J1

I2C pinout

Channel SDA SCL
0 D1 D0

ATmega16u2

  • 8-bit architecture
  • 0.5kB of EEPROM memory
  • 16kB of Flash memory
  • 0.5kB of RAM
  • Requires 16MHz crystal to run OpenDeck firmware (no other values have been tested)
  • 1 UART channel

Note: recommended to use only as USB link between the MCUs which don't support USB such as ATmega2560 since regular OpenDeck firmware doesn't fit in this MCU.
