CM5 Ethernet Switch


I could not retrieve or reconcile the executor’s completed report, and no further project changes were verified in this session.
The last confirmed requested scope remains:
  • 180 × 120 mm board outline
  • Six-layer stackup
  • Preserved connector edge assignments
  • Restored/organized CM5 → LAN7431 → KSZ9477 → RJ45 schematic flow
  • U2/U3 placement inside the enlarged board
  • Post-change ERC, DRC, and connectivity verification
Execution stopped because your ACUs ran out.

The resumed implementation is still running; the executor is applying the board/stackup and coordinated schematic/PCB placement changes. I’ll continue through verification rather than stop mid-change.

Received notification from "Schematic PCB Layout" that it finished — picking the work back up.
The Schematic PCB Layout executor reached completed status, but I could not retrieve and reconcile its final report before tool access ended. Therefore, I cannot safely confirm which board resize, six-layer stackup, schematic arrangement, U2/U3 placement, or verification changes actually landed.
Remaining work:
  • Retrieve the executor’s final report.
  • Inspect the board outline and stackup.
  • Confirm connector edge assignments and U1/U2/U3 placement.
  • Verify schematic connectivity, ERC, component bounds, overlaps, and DRC.
  • Fix any incomplete or failed items from that review.

ItemStatusResult
180 × 120 mm rectangular PCBCompletedBoard changed from 160 × 100 mm to 180 × 120 mm, sharp-corner rectangle.
Standard 6 Layer stackupCompletedApplied six copper layers: Signal / Ground Plane / Signal / Power Plane / Ground Plane / Signal. Standard 0.6 mm pad / 0.3 mm drilled through-vias span L1→L6.
PCB U1/U2/U3 placementCompletedU1 brought inside the board; U2 placed beside U1; U3 placed to the right of U2 toward the LAN ports.
Connector preservationCompleted with necessary edge adjustmentJ1/J2/J8 were left at their valid positions. J3–J6 were translated to the enlarged right edge without rotation changes. J7 was moved in-bounds on its existing bottom-side region.
Support-cluster placementCompletedPCIe capacitors, clocks, reset/bias/strap parts, decouplers, and each MagJack LED/center-tap cluster were moved with their parent blocks.
Schematic U1 restoration and visual reflowUnsupported / unattemptedThe available project write tools do not expose schematic symbol/wire arrangement. U1 remains at schematic (485, -18881.4), not requested (96, -985). No schematic placement or wire geometry was changed.
RoutingCompleted as prohibited actionNo routing command was run and no logical connectivity was edited.

High-speed and IC support placement
  • PCIe coupling capacitors:
    • C1 (0, 7)
    • C2 (0, 13)
  • LAN7431 clock:
    • Y1 (7, 25)
    • C86 (3, 25)
    • C87 (11, 25)
  • KSZ9477 clock:
    • Y2 (32, 31)
    • C88 (28, 31)
    • C89 (36, 31)
  • U2 bias/reset/config cluster: R1, R2, R5, C85, R27, R28, R29 arranged around anchor (7, -9).
  • U3 bias/reset/strap cluster: R3, R4, R6, R7, R8, C84 arranged around anchor (32, -10).
  • U2 decoupling was reflowed into four short rows, x approximately 1…15 mm, at y 17.5, 21, 2.5, and -1 mm, keeping the U1 body and U2–U3 corridor clear.
  • U3 decoupling was placed in four rows, x approximately 19…45 mm, at y 20.5, 24, -0.5, and -4 mm.
MagJack support clusters
  • J1: C90–C93, R17, R18 around (-7, -38)
  • J2: C94–C97, R19, R30 around (-27, 33)
  • J3: C98–C101, R31, R32 around (65, -19)

  • J6: C110–C113, R37, R38 around (46, -38)
Other in-bounds remediation
The placement pass also brought all previously out-of-bounds support parts inside the outline, including U8, J7, L1/L2/L4, F1, C2/C5/C6/C8/C11/C12/C14–C16/C18/C20/C21/C23–C25/C28–C30/C32–C34/C37/C39/C41/C42/C45/C47–C49/C51/C54/C65/C76/C78/C79/C87/C88, and associated resistors. U5/U6/U7/U8 support parts were regrouped sufficiently to remove movement-induced component overlaps.
Verification evidence
Connectivity
  • Project diff from baseline commit e3affc24 to final implementation commit 6bf5978d reports:
    • SCHEMATIC (no textual changes)
  • Therefore net membership, no-connect state, labels, and logical connectivity were not altered by this batch.
Bounds, overlap, and keepout
  • Final deterministic placement result:
    • Remaining overlaps: 0
    • Remaining keepout violations: 0
    • Remaining out-of-bounds: 0
  • Final component aggregate bounds for the primary moved set are within the x = -90…90 mm, y = -60…60 mm board outline.
  • Targeted DRC queries returned no findings for component-outside-board, component-body-overlap, keepout, edge-placement, invalid-layer, protected-intrusion, or stackup validation checks.
ERC
ERC reports exactly two errors:
  1. U1:VBUS_EN power input not connected
  2. U1:VBAT power input not connected
These are the previously identified baked U1 pin-metadata false positives. No fake circuitry was added.
Copper/footprint DRC
  • Baseline overlapping-copper count: 74
  • Final overlapping-copper count: 68
  • The remaining 68 findings are intrinsic to the existing U2/U3 library footprints: exposed-pad copper overlaps unnamed/mount pad primitives within the same footprints. They were present before this placement batch; component movement did not create them.
  • No final component-to-component body overlap remains.
Placement/routing-feasibility check
The board check reports 10 warnings and one informational item. They are not new logical-connectivity changes:
  • U5 duplicate same-net overlapping PGND/LX pads: three warnings, treated as merged pads.
  • U2 and U3 exposed-pad versus unnamed/mount-pad footprint conflicts: two warnings, matching the pre-existing copper DRC.
  • PCIe differential pair cannot be twinned from existing pin mapping: one warning.
  • Existing RGMII net metadata incorrectly classifies RXC/RX_CTL and TXD2/TXC as differential pairs, producing four unroutable-pair warnings.
  • Via-at-SMD on an exposed pad: one informational advisory.
No auto-route was started. The net/differential-pair and footprint definitions must be corrected before routing, but they are pre-existing upstream metadata/library issues rather than placement regressions.
Final assessment
The PCB setup and placement batch is complete: 180 × 120 mm, six layers, all components in bounds, zero component-body overlaps, zero keepout violations, preserved connector rotations, and unchanged schematic connectivity. The overall original brief is partially complete because schematic symbol/wire arrangement is blocked by the currently unavailable schematic placement mutation interface.
