Title: Assembling USB Gecko from PCB: parts needed?

What parts are used in a USB Gecko? KiCad and PCB Designer can't open the USB Gecko PCB files, so I can't determine this myself.(Is there any free Linux software to read the USB Gecko files?)

I don't think there's any linux software that will do it, but if you can access a Windows box, Altium offers a free viewer application. I never used it myself, but I know about it because we use Altium at my place of employment.

Thanks joecamel and dcx2. A 131MB download is large with Dial-Up though...
