Design is half the battle: the other half is component selection and manufacturing. If you BOM is way off, you're SOL before you even start, and most people don't get this until it's too late.
- nerpderp83 9y agoThis is why you don't design something around an esoteric part, like the only ARM part with 5 Quad SPI ports or a dual time base RTC. If you do, have contingencies for your contingencies, like merging footprints you can have the option to use different IMUs on the same PCB.

- e12e 9y agoI find the updates for Bunnie's eoma68 fascinating, like how things like a micro-hdmi connector can be a problem: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop/updates/274-eoma68-a20-cards-arrived https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop/updates/274... (Starting at: "The issue that is of more concern is the JAE DC3 mid-mount Micro-HDMI connector."(...))
