Review the Clad board #1

Open mithro opened 6 years ago

mithro commented 6 years ago

Review the Clad board, check the following;

[ ] Current connections are identical to the Digilent Pynq board.
[ ] All parts have footprints
[ ] Board passes ERC (electrical design rules check)
[ ] Spelling of all the comments and stuff.

What else?

Hi Mithro,

Took a while to get used to the schematic and hierarchical design interface in KiCad, but have it figured out now and starting the evaluation:

Seems that footprints exist for 0603 resistors but most of the components I checked do not have a footprint associated, will create and share a spreadsheet for this...

So far so good with connections and spelling.

@gskielian - Can you annotate the schematic with the details, Phyllis will be happy to make the foot prints.

Check: NC text objects next to unconnected pins on main sheet. If pins are not needed, you'll have to delete the labels inside the hierarchical sheets and add no-connects there - KiCad (currently) doesn't support connecting NC flags to hierarchical sheet pins
