Is there a board layout in PDF (or .brd) format somewhere?
It's kind of hard to find components on the board. Having a board layout file would greatly speed up locating R141 for instance...

there is a ORCAD schematics in the community.
I know that, but as far as I can see that file contains the schematics, not the board layout:
To simply view the DSN file you need OrCAD Lite, which is a 1.2 GB download that turns into a 2.5 GB installation (I just want to view the file, djeez!). On top of that the download is super slow... Not sure where Cadence hosts their files, but it must be cheap! ;-)
Then, when you open the DSN file, it appears to be just the schematics, NOT the board layout. The board layout has the extension .brd and can be viewed with Cadence Allegro Viewer (and with that you can create a searchable board layout PDF, which would be very handy for everybody using the RIoTboard).
So, my question remains... Is the board layout file available for download somewhere?
Ok, I found the gerber files: http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-65839/l/riotboard-gerber-files
Unfortunately the PDFs in that zip are not searchable. Would be great to get the brd file so I can create searchable PDFs using Allegro.
Hey guys,
I just found the schematics as pdf. hotlink
Some other stuff can be found at RIoTboard Development Platform - Evaluation Boards - Embedded ARM Evaluation Boards and Tools > Downloads.

Wonderful! that's something I looked for . It would be nice to link this page (and may other good pages) directly from the main page RIotBoard Revolutionizing the Internet of Things - Home .
I'm looking forward to use this nice board .
Cheers
That's one hell of a hard to find page, but thanks for sharing.
Still, the gerber files there are non-searchable. Could you please post the Allegro .brd file so I can create searchable PDF's of the silk screens? That way we don't have to scour the board or PDF for components to put our scope on. I noticed not all components are listed on the silk, but with the brd we should hopefully be able to create a layer with all names on it...
The pdf file is available here RIoTboard layout

I keep repeating myself, sorry for that, but please post the .brd file... That'll solve everything.
Yes, please post the .brd file, that'll solve many things.
Thanks
