Hardware Errata
This page documents some issues with the hardware.
Rev 3
- Footprint for RTC backup battery (BT301) is backwards
- The + terminal of the battery connects to the GND node, and vice versa.
- Resolution: Populate battery in reverse
- Incorrect power-on reset behavior
- There is no reset pulse generated on boot-up (by an external reset generator… which we don't have. lol) which causes spurious boot failures
- So, we should add a supervisor for the reset line
- Generate a power on reset pulse of ~1 sec with the +5V rail
- We may need to shorten the reset delay on the +3V3 voltage supervisor line
- Alternatively – directly use the +3V3 input to switch it
- There is no reset pulse generated on boot-up (by an external reset generator… which we don't have. lol) which causes spurious boot failures
