3xCAN – almost there

Got more parts today so I finally have connectors, USB and SD-Card mounted – lack Ethernet yet + discovered that the PSRAM has a more narrow footprint than I used. Not sure I am bothered with mounting PSRAM on this version because strapping another nCS will be difficult – one nice thing with narrow footprint is that PSRAM and FRAM will share the same size. SPI Memory use a JEDEC signature allowing you to detect what is mounted. I will have the LAN in a few days and by then have a complete board for testing/developing.

USB is working and so is power through USB meaning I can just power the board through my laptop. I must admit that soldering have been much faster than I expected, but I am serious on getting the PnP running next.

I also got the boxes I want to use and realize it will be tight with two boards and those connectors – I might need to use right-angle versions to get space and move the connectors a bit to left – we will see.
