GoKawiilOpen-source reference kit published for NVIDIA V100 SXM2 pinout and NVLink wiring
A new open-source project offers a curated reference for NVIDIA V100 SXM2 module carrier boards, documenting 800 canonical contacts across two connectors along with NVLink connection tables for two- and four-GPU configurations. The release includes KiCad starter files, schematic PDFs and a standalone workbook, built by compiling and reconciling previously scattered reverse-engineered data rather than original hardware research.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By consolidating public reverse-engineering work into a single documented format, the project could lower the barrier for hobbyists and smaller labs attempting to build custom carrier boards for V100 GPUs, which lack official vendor documentation for DIY use. The maintainers are explicit that this is a pre-release reference rather than a validated, hardware-qualified design, so anyone building from it would still need to verify power, control and regulator circuitry themselves.
- Reference kit maps 800 contacts (400 per connector) with signal names and electrical notes for V100 SXM2 modules
- Includes KiCad starter files and connection tables for one-, two-, and four-GPU NVLink configurations
- Explicitly a public pre-release reference, not a hardware-qualified carrier board design
