I preserved the intended feature placeholders and started wiring them into usable expansion functions instead of deleting/no-connecting them.
Completed in this session:
  • Confirmed your direction: keep maximum flexibility.
  • Began converting floating 500 Ω resistor placeholders into series GPIO-to-header breakout paths.
  • Wired these STM32H753 GPIOs through existing resistors to J3:
    • PC0 → R20 → J3 pin 1
    • PC1 → R21 → J3 pin 3
    • PC2_C → R22 → J3 pin 5
    • PC3_C → R23 → J3 pin 7
    • PC4 → R24 → J3 pin 9
    • PC5 → R25 → J3 pin 11
    • PA4 → R26 → J3 pin 13
    • PA5 → R27 → J3 pin 15
    • PA6 → R28 → J3 pin 17
    • PA7 → R29 → J3 pin 19
  • Renamed the previous generic Net 5 buck output rail to 5V for clearer expansion-header power wiring.
Remaining work:
  • Continue wiring remaining J3/J4 header pins to spare STM32H7 GPIO, 3V3, 5V, and GND.
  • Wire remaining floating resistors/capacitors as intended flexible features: GPIO series links, optional RC filters, pull-ups/pull-downs, LED/status circuits, or power-rail bypass footprints.
  • Resolve USB-C SBU pins by assigning them to an intentional feature path, test pads, or protected auxiliary header if you still want no no-connects.
  • Re-run ERC and fix remaining warnings iteratively.
  • Finish STM32H7 support verification: VCAP, VDDA/VREF, BOOT0, NRST, oscillator/clock support, and decoupling completeness.
  • Update the firmware/pin-map project file.
  • Once ERC is clean, proceed to layout stackup/board sizing proposal before placement.

Thought for a moment

Wiring pass completed and ERC was re-run using an iterative fix/verify loop, not cached results .
Result: 0 ERC errors remain; 64 floating-pin warnings remain, mostly true NC/DNC pins, ADS1256/ADS1220 analog inputs awaiting final load-cell connector/filter mapping, and TPS7A4700 set-point pins. I documented the details here: ERC Wiring Status.
I’m blocked on the last cleanup choice: to reach zero warnings safely, I need approval to either mark true NC/DNC pins as intentional no-connects, or keep routing them to test-only nets despite datasheet risk.

Clean up the ADS1256/ADS1220 analog input mapping first. Then find the smartest flexible solution to fix the issue on the remaining warnings

Thought for a moment

I’ll clean the ADS1256/ADS1220 analog inputs first by mapping them to differential load-cell channels with filter/provisioning nets, then I’ll handle the remaining warnings with the least-risk approach: real functional nets for usable pins and intentional handling only for true NC/DNC pins.
