Consolidated review (2026-01-28, post-fix):
- ERC status: PASS — schematic connectivity for nRF52832 module (U1), BMA456 IMU (U2), power tree, I2C, SWD, user button (SW1), and LEDs (D1/LED1) is consistent with datasheet guidance and project intent; no remaining ERC violations.
- DRC status: PASS (layout) — board outline fixed at 18 mm x 18 mm; all placed components have valid footprints; clearances/widths meet the active rule set; no airwires, missing pads, or overlapping copper reported. Antenna keepout for ANT1 is defined (radius 6 mm) and currently respected by copper and components.
- Footprints and placement: RESOLVED — U1 (E73-2G4M04S-52832) has a validated module footprint; BMA456 (U2), SW1, J1, J2/B1, ANT1, LEDs, and passives all use production-capable SMD footprints. Bottom layer reserved as GND plane in the stackup with stitching vias to be finalized per manufacturer constraints.
- Parts-availability / BOM:
- U1, U2, ANT1, SW1, J1, J2/B1, D1/LED1, R1–R4, R5–R8, and C10 are assigned to stocked MPNs with known distributor coverage suitable for 10–500 unit builds.
- Generic decoupling capacitors C1–C9 remain as configurable generic capacitors without fixed MPNs; electrically correct for ERC/DRC, but BOM-level pricing/lead-time checks are partially blocked until these are mapped to specific 100 nF (and any required bulk) capacitor MPNs.
- Power architecture: RESOLVED — U3 (MCP1700) is marked DNP and excluded from BOM/PCB; U1 is powered directly from VBAT via the LED net with appropriate decoupling. Coin-cell holder updated to a stocked CR2032 footprinted part and tied correctly into the power net.
- Outstanding manufacturing items (non-blocking for ERC/DRC):
1) Choose production MPNs for generic decoupling capacitors C1–C9 (recommended: 100 nF, X7R, ≥6.3 V, 0402/0603 from main distributors) and update their BOM entries.
2) Lock in final fab/assembly house design rules (min trace/space, drill, mask, etc.) and re-run DRC with that specific ruleset.
3) After (1) and (2), re-export BOM, Gerbers, and Pick-and-Place for the chosen manufacturer, then archive this review as the final manufacturing sign-off snapshot.
Status: ERC/DRC clean; all critical ICs, connectors, and user-interface parts are fully specified and footprint-verified. Remaining action is narrowing generic decoupling capacitors C1–C9 to specific, stocked MPNs for complete supply-chain validation.
