Today we completed the A13-OLinuXino routing and I push the CAD files to GitHub. Note that these are not the final, we have to make some final touch and to add text, logos etc, but I know how many of you waiting for the CAD files with no patience so I push these work CAD files for your review.
If everything goes well we may have prototypes by end of next week 🙂

My CAD guy says to check this out:

It is a push and shove router. He says this board can be done in a day with it.

Well that would certainly be impressive.

interesting, can you link a design with 1066MHz DDR3 which your CAD guy completed in a day 😉

Push and shove routers are different than normal routers. Have you guys tried a push and shove type?

It would have taken him a week to do it on a normal CAD system

A push and shove tool doesn’t give you the knowledge on how to route a a design with 1066MHz DDR3!

CAD guy has probably laid out a thousand PCBs over the years. He is experienced with high frequency layout problems. What he is all excited about is how much more productive a push and shove style router is over his normal Orcad.

Well done !!
Could you tell a little bit more about the PCB, there are 4-layers, it seems most signals are using 2 layers, then you have a ground layer and another one for power ?
Did you get some hints from the A13 Tablet you bought for the layout (especially around the DDR3) ?

Looking good and let us know how the testing of the prototypes goes.
Looking forward for the final release.

Good work Omlimex – really looking forward to getting my hads on this!
