kc8apf: has anyone documented any particular modern laptop/mobile device, with all of its cores and maybe dumped firmware?
<eddyb>
it'd be cool to build maps, effectively network maps, of all the interconnected state machines, the protocols between them, where there are actual cores running code (vs custom logic) etc.
<eddyb>
ugh ignore me I think it's the caffeine talking

eddyb: my boss tries to do that whenever he gets a new laptop. Basic architecture diagram is fairly simple. Cores inside specialized peripherals is a lot of guess work.
<eddyb>
heh

electronic_eel: peek
<whitequark>
electronic_eel: ah yeah layout
<davidc__>
esden: any word on glasgow availability?
<davidc__>
(just deciding whether I should order some PCBs today :) )
<esden>
No and it still will be a while. iCEBreaker campaign has to be fulfilled first.
<davidc__>
Fair enough. I'll fab my own boards1
<esden>
:)
<davidc__>
If anyone wants bare PCBs, ping me; I'll probably have a few extras to hand out
<tnt>
Some people are courageous :p
<davidc__>
Eh, its not that bad a board complexity wise. If there's sufficient interest, I could probably get a batch assembled; but my supply chain is fairly $$$, so the boards would probably be expensive assembled
<davidc__>
(like, $200/ea expensive)

revb wasn't too bad, but for revc i'll probably wait for esden's :)

whitequark: if the layout review is a chore for you, then scratch it and I'm gonna order the pcbs at it is now
<electronic_eel>
It's not that this is my first pcb layout
<tnt>
electronic_eel: I can have a quick look if you want.
<electronic_eel>
tnt: that would be nice
<tnt>
That footprint for the solder bridge is ... terribe. triggers both DRC violations and reports unconnected, that's paiful.
<electronic_eel>
I know. It is an older one I created with kicad 4.
<electronic_eel>
I think the custom pads were just added recently
<electronic_eel>
but I used it often on several of my boards. So I know this design works
<tnt>
Other than that, it looks fine to me. There isn't really any critical parts (like high freq or high currents) anyway. Ground plane is mostly solid, usb traces are direct, power path is nice and wide ... so yeah, should work fine.
