1

Double-check design for UART, SPI connections (avoid possible “criss-cross” issues

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

 

 

 

2

Verify that all the signals and interfaces, which presented in the design Block Diagram and/or the list of requirements, were implemented in the design schematics

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

 

 

 

3

Verify that schematics provides the right header (or footer) with board’s name, revision, etc (use Emcraft’s LLC standard header)

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

 

 

 

4

Check that part footprints match their packages

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

Weren’t changed from Rev.1

 

 

5

Align BOM with Emcraft LLC’s BOM (emcraftoperations.xlsx - LIBRARY.xlsx)

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

Kent approved the new parts, but these parts don’t have Emcraft part ## yet.

 

 

6

Review BOM with Kent

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

Kent approved the new parts

 

 

7

Final review prior to layout (can be a self-review)

Self-review

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

 

 

 

8

Verify that all relevant hardware debug interfaces available at least on test points. (When in doubt as to requirements, discuss with software teams).

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

 

 

 

9

Verify that all relevant serial console interfaces available at least on test points. (When in doubt as to requirements, discuss with software teams).

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

 

 

 

10

Check that signal vias are tented, but thermal vias aren't tented

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

 

 

 

11

Check that thermal vias differ in size from signal vias and manufacturing notes refer to this size in fabrication instructions

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

 

 

 

12

Check that all the space which isn't used for signal/power is filled with Ground polygons

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

 

 

 

13

Verify that Altium Designer DRC doesn't report errors

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

 

 

 

14

Confirm with Kent that stack-up and via technologies are acceptable

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

The stackup wasn’t changed from Rev.1

 

 

15

Verify that the PCB includes the right markings for key IC’s and interfaces

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

 

 

 

16

Verify that the PCB includes the board name and revision

 

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

 

 

 

17

Review all views of the silkscreen

 

@Vladimir Khusainov PASSED

 

 

 

18

Final review prior to manufacture (can be a self-review)

Self-review

@Vadim Aleynikov (Unlicensed)PASSED

 

 

 

19

Verify that the PCB project contains the board outline on a separate layer and the Manufacturing file package contains the Board outline gerber and PDF files if the PWB manufacturer needs them.
