Write a bring-up plan
The plan should catch an assembly fault before it destroys anything, and point to the faulty part when a reading is
wrong. Compute every expected number from the schematic and datasheets, and show the working so the number can be
recomputed after a change. Read the circuit (kicad-view: the sheet plots and the pin list) and the design notes
first.
TEST_PLAN.md layout
- Header: the board, its revision, and the schematic the numbers come from. Run the stages in order and stop at the first failure.
- Circuit summary: the blocks, their parts, and where to probe each.
- Stages 0–3: one table per stage, with the columns
# | Measure / do | Expect | A wrong reading means. - Log: one copy per board serial: date, tester, each reading, pass or fail.
Stage 0: visual, unpowered
Name the fine-pitch parts and the pin pairs most likely to bridge, the polarised parts, and the parts easy to swap (same package, different value).
