Where things happen

GitHub holds the design. The forum is the conversation around that work. Telegram is the 256 Foundation's public group chat.

• Design repository: schematics, the PCB, the bill of materials, fabrication files, and the bench test. Bug reports with reproducible detail, and pull requests, belong here. The link stays on the rev3 branch until that branch is merged to main. See Design files.
• Forum, including the Libre Board category. Use the category for build questions, bench results, and forks of the design.
• Telegram: the Foundation's public group chat. It is chat. It is not the forum.

The open mining stack

Libre Board sits with the Foundation's other mining projects: Mujina firmware, Ember One hashboards, and Hydrapool pool software. Questions about how the board pairs with those belong in the Libre Board category, and the change itself belongs in the repository that owns the code or the board.

Contributing

The designs are published. Read them, build on them, and say what is wrong with them. Hardware review, bring-up notes, and bill-of-materials corrections are all useful.

Open an issue or a pull request on the design repository. For the words on this site, use the edit link at the bottom of a page, or the notes under Contributing to this site.
