    4. High-Level Design & Implementation Steps
    1. Schematic Creation
      • Section off blocks: CPU + memory, power-supply, NVMe/USB bridge, MCU, wireless, USB hub, video, audio, I/O headers.
      • Place all parts from the list and wire per respective datasheet reference circuits.
    2. Power System
      • Implement USB-C PD with STUSB4500 → buck/buck-boost & LDO rails.
      • Add LTC4412 to OR-ing battery pack into 6 V bus.
      • Include LTC3108 harvest input to 6 V bus (no recharge to AA).
      • Add decoupling & bulk caps per regulator datasheets; PTC fuses & ESD diodes on inputs.
    3. SoC & High-Speed Interfaces
      • Break out Snapdragon 990 BGA with DDR4 routing (point-to-point).
      • Route PCIe Gen3 lanes to M.2 slot via JMS583 and to Titan Ridge for TB/eGPU.
      • Follow high-speed layout guidelines: impedance, length matching, EMI filters.
    4. MCU & Expansion Headers
      • Place ATmega328P with UNO-style 2.54 mm headers; add ISP 6-pin, I²C pull-ups, reset circuit.
    5. Connectivity Blocks
      • USB hub: TUSB8041 + ESD + chokes → five USB-A 3.0 ports.
      • Ethernet: RJ45 + magnetics + PHY; SFP cage + PHY/SFP interface.
      • Wireless: ESP32 module pad + SX1276 + antenna matching; program pads.
    6. Video & Audio
      • HDMI RX (TDA19978) & TX (TFP410) blocks with TMDS ESD & termination.
      • Audio codec + 3.5 mm jack; route differential audio lines; add ESD.
    7. Display & Indicators
      • SSD1306 OLED on I²C; add pull-ups & backlight power if needed.
      • LEDs for power, charge, status.
    8. PCB Layout & Mechanical
      • Follow Raspberry Pi 2×20 header footprint & UNO shield hole pattern.
      • Add reinforcement for rugged use; standoffs at corners.
      • Define 4-layer stackup:
        • Top: signal
        • L2: GND
        • L3: PWR
        • Bottom: signal
    9. DRC/ERC Reviews
      • Run ERC for decoupling, pull-ups, power nets.
      • Run DRC for high-speed clearance, differential pairs, via aspect ratios.
    10. Fabrication & Testing
    • Export Gerbers, IPC-2581, BOM.
    • Prototype assembly; verify power sequencing, rails, interfaces.
    • Functional tests: USB-C PD negotiation, NVMe throughput, eGPU over TB3, wireless comm, audio, OLED.
