Work done
• All implementation plan tasks were completed except reviewing passive component ratings (5.3).
Tasks remaining
• Review all passives for appropriate voltage and power ratings.
Success criteria
✔️ TPS61088 boost converter produces a regulated 5 V rail from SYS under GPIO control (U5 powered and FB network in place).
✔️ MAX98357A amplifier is powered from 5 V and drives J2 with BTL outputs.
✔️ W25Q32 SPI NOR is connected to U1 (CLK, MOSI, MISO, CS) with decoupling.
✔️ Existing BAT→charger→SYS→3V3 chain is unaffected.
Next step
Proceed to PCB layout preparation: review and update footprints, configure board stackup, and choose a mounting solution for fabrication.
