Schematics — waiting for the first builder

English · Čeština · Русский

This folder is empty on purpose. NIC-Heimdall is a concept, and a concept this size is designed in its documents: every board's HARDWARE.md carries the parts, the values, the pins and the arithmetic behind them. That is a schematic in words, and it is complete enough to draw from.

The drawn schematic belongs to the next step — from concept to build — and that step is open. If you draw a board, it goes here:

• one folder per board, named exactly as the board is named in its project's HARDWARE.md (bifrost/, G-I-N-025/, Quark-Photon/ …);
• the EDA sources, and a PDF anyone can open without the tool;
• a short README.md saying which state of the description you drew from (the commit), what you changed and why — a change to a value belongs back in the HARDWARE.md, so the description and the drawing never part ways.

Found a mistake while drawing? That is the most useful thing a first drawing can do: fix the description too.
