+This variant attempts to be as faitful to the Blackmagic mini as
+possible, but also has several diferences.
+The schematic and board have both been designed using Cadsoft EAGLE v6.4.0
-## 0603 Parts
+### Differences
-## Compatible with USB to Serial
+#### Uses 0603 [1608 Metric] components
-## SparkFun locking headers
+Makes reflow soldering much easier.
+
+#### Includes Level Translator
+
+This board incorporates the same level translator used in the full-sized Blackmagic, so it can be used to safely program 2.7V or 1.8V systems.
+
+#### USART Connector
+
+The STM32F103's USART1 peripheral is broken out into a 0.1" header. The hole centres are [slightly offset to allow a press-fit](https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/114).
+
+#### BOOT0 Button
+
+As well as the standard button for entering USB DFU mode, this variant
+also provides a button for pulling the BOOT0 pin high to activate the
+STM32 SystemMemory bootloeader. This means that /scripts/bootprog.py
+can be used to program and reprogram the chip over the USART1
+interface.
