It is a big project in terms of people, and it's not impossible that bill of materials was referenced at some point. Even if not, the netlist which must surely have been provided for testing purposes must provide many clues (unrealistic example: AVR8_RX). Even if "only" PCB manufacture was done, there's a lot of information, on par (better, in fact!) with xraying the assembled product.
- dboreham 7y agoLast time I worked on PCB design and manufacture liaison this isn't the way it's done. You send artwork (in electronic form) to the sub. They perform a connectivity test on the finished boards but the net list they test against was derived by their CAM system from the artwork data. We never released our CAD netlist data to them and honestly I don't think they'd know what to do with it if we had. Ymmv since this is an old data point.
- Taniwha 7y agoYes, the data formats for PCB design data are so old they are commands for a now nonexistent photoplotter, a list of circles and rectangles
