Board layout of RIoTboard?

Former Member

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...

    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?
