A standard that provides for two USB3.1 ports is a good thing. Isn’t it?
yeah it is :)
In fact, USB3.1 availability might be unique in this small board world.
well there first has to actually *be* a SoC that has USB 3.1!
I watched a long presentation where Jon Hall said he couldn’t find one (OpenHours #32 - 96Boards discussion with Jon "maddog” Hall).
mmm... not a fan of 96boards after their spectacular failure to respond publicly to my questions about their incompetence in designing the standard *without consulting anybody*
big fan of jon hall though.
No idea what standard revision and chain of components is required to make this work, so I’ve got no idea how to help here. Sorry.
it's ok i just need to make a decision and document it. it'll be along the lines of "what would a typical SoC have as pinouts and how can PCB track cross-overs be minimised under the circumstances".
i _should_ have placed the pins for the SStx/rx next door to each of their respective USB2 tracks... but that's not possible, now.
