I really can't figure out what would satisfy you regarding Arduino. I found a full schematic (pdf) in a few seconds of searching. It has all part numbers labeled. http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/Arduino_Uno_Rev3-schematic.pdf http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/Arduino_Uno_Rev3-schematic... A simple google search for "arduino bill of materials" found several hits from text, to json, to Excel formats. If the schematic was only available as pdf, I could understand the complaint that it is not an editable format. There's also Eagle files of schematic and board layout. From that one can make gerbers in a few minutes. Or modify and make something completely different. But in a different comment you said that Eagle files don't count? Why is it that the specific thing you request doesn't count?

The eagle schematic doesn't not have all the mfg part numbers listed. Lots have to be reverse engineered - a good example is the pushbutton switch. Edit: Also, if you read the first page of their schematic they pretty much say don't use this schematic as a legit source. So if it's open source, my question is where is the "real" source. Answer: they don't publish it. It's locked up internally in the company under a private repo.

  On the schematic on the arduino.cc website, the pushbutton switch is labeled "TS42031-160R-TR-7260". A quick google search leads to Omron as the switch manufacturer. Even so, picking a simple button switch from digikey with the right footprint is a trivial task. http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/Arduino_Uno_Rev3-schematic.pdf http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/Arduino_Uno_Rev3-schematic... The first page of the schematic has a standard disclaimer. It's not different than the standard disclaimer at the top of every open source software source file. (Hardware version: "Reference designs are provided AS IS and WITH ALL FAULTS ....", Software version: "THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND ...") In the world of electronics, it is normal to label a resistor simply as "10k". Is the resistor from Panasonic? Vishay? Yageo? Is it thin film? carbon? ceramic? It doesn't matter and I don't want to see all that info on a schematic. The real source is right there on the website. I've personally used their reference designs to make arduino-compatible boards, so I'm positive that all the information is available. I'm still at a loss as to why you believe that Arduino is not real open source? Is it just because they didn't put a BOM on the website alongside the schematic?
