se6astianfelix_: when should we start with a first prototype production run of the hardware?18:50
se6astianor are there any more reviews/changes pending?18:51
felix_i planned to go through https://github.com/azonenberg/pcb-checklist/ but realistically won't get around to do that before the 20th september. i already went through part of the list, but not everything19:27
tpbTitle: GitHub - azonenberg/pcb-checklist: Sign-off review checklist for PCB designs (at github.com)19:27
felix_i also didn't check the pinouts again; double-checked them when i made the symbols though19:28
felix_Bertl: would it cause you much pain and work to first only populate part of the boards and if that works populate the rest19:29
Bertldepends on the parts :)19:31
felix_i'd suggest to only populate the power supply, the fpga and its flash and test if that works and populate the sdi chips and the clock generator later19:33
Bertlgot an url with a recent design screenshot for?19:34
Bertl*for me19:34
felix_let me search in the backlog19:36
felix_https://i.imgur.com/Ufjuoeb.jpg is the latest version i found19:37
felix_after that there were only slight changes near the hdbnc connectors19:37
felix_the chips and their position didn't change that much after that19:38
Bertlso what are chips you want to populate later? U201, U301, U901, U1101 and?19:39
felix_and u40219:40
felix_or maybe populate u402 with the fpga; it's not a that expensive chip19:41
Bertlthat should be doable19:42
felix_but the sdi chips are around 32 euros per chip; so i wouldn't populate them before we know that the rest of the board works19:42
felix_(that's the motivation behing my question)19:42
felix_i had a brief look at the pcb again and i have already fixed everything that i wanted to fix19:49
felix_i'm not aware of other things that need to be changed19:50
Bertlwhat are the PCB requirements?19:50
felix_i used the design rules for the 4 layer oshpark process19:50
Bertlexcellent19:51
felix_might be good if you could check if the goemetry for the 100 ohm differential lines and the 75 ohm sdi lines are correct19:51
Bertlhow did you calculate them?19:51
felix_i used the saturn pcb toolkit19:51
Bertlshould be good enough for a first test19:52
felix_i'll generate a fresh set of gerber files, since i'm not sure if the gerber files i have here are for the current pcb version19:53
BertlOSHpark can process KiCad directly19:53
Bertlso maybe just try there if the upload works19:53
felix_ah, didn't know that19:53
Bertlit's also a good check to go through the renderings there19:54
felix_haven't used anything but gerber files ini the last 6 years for ordering pcbs19:54
Bertlyeah, if it doesn't work with the KiCad files, you have to generate Gerbers anyway :)19:55
felix_http://sigsegv.notmysegfault.de/intern/AXIOM-photonSDI-hw.zip are the gerbers for the current design version that is on github19:56
felix_and the current schematics http://sigsegv.notmysegfault.de/intern/AXIOM-photonSDI-hw.pdf19:57
felix_when you've ordered the board, i'll push the files to the git repo and add a v1.0 tag19:58
felix_with files i meant the pdf export of the schematics and an archive with the gerber files19:59
felix_well, the gerber files if you want me to do that; the schematics are probably useful for more people than the gerbers20:00
felix_oh, i forgot to post the link to the archive with the gerber files. here it is: http://sigsegv.notmysegfault.de/intern/AXIOM-photonSDI-hw.zip20:02
felix_oh, already linked those. i'm not that much awake any more at the moment...20:03
felix_but yeah, it would be good if you could have a quick look with a gerber viewer and if it loooks good to you, go ahead and order one set of 3 boards20:05
felix_the drc of the pcb design completes witout errors or warnings20:05
felix_oh, wait, found a problem20:08
felix_N_LVDS_4 near the board ege connector20:09
felix_i uploaded new gerber files under the same url20:20
Bertlmake sure the kicad files are up-to-date as well20:20
felix_i pushed the change to https://github.com/felixheld/AXIOM-photonSDI-hw20:21
tpbTitle: GitHub - felixheld/AXIOM-photonSDI-hw: SDI interface board for the apertusĀ° AXIOM beta camera (at github.com)20:21
felix_hmm, let me add a version number to the zip file20:21
felix_just to prevent sending the wrong file to oshpark20:22
felix_http://sigsegv.notmysegfault.de/intern/AXIOM-photonSDI-hw-v1.0.0.zip20:23
felix_i'll go home now; will look in the irc channel in maybe 30 minutes again. have to get up early tomorrow though...20:26
*** se6astian is now known as se6astian|away21:04
felix_i read through the design checklist again21:17
felix_i only double-checked the footprints myself when i designed them (most aren't board proven!)21:17
felix_another thing that might be worth a look is the solder paste aperture reduction for the voltage regulator pads; mostly those of the two ldos. beware that those are soldermask defined though21:20
felix_doesn't look too wrong to me, but might be good, if you could have a look at that21:21
felix_good night21:21
