This is a generalized development board for V-USB, using the ATTiny85 without a crystal.
The board files are free for re-use, modification, and manufacture without restriction.
The repository here contains KiCAD sources (schematic/board files), basic V-USB code that implements a key-based HID media controller (with modifications for this board) and a Bill of Materials listing.
Note: The VID/PID need to be properly defined before using this board in production. This should be your own VID/PID, or from a source such as http://pid.codes.

Ensure that you have all the avr tools necessary to compile the firmware. On Debian/Ubuntu based systems the dependencies are:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential gcc-avr gdb-avr binutils-avr avr-libc avrdude
In the firmware directory (depending on how your system permissions are setup pre-pending sudo may be necessary):
cd firmware
make hex
make program
make fuse
These must be programmed, otherwise your board will not enumerate with the host.
avrdude -c buspirate -p attiny85 -P /dev/ttyUSB0
-U hfuse:w:0xdd:m -U lfuse:w:0xe1:m
