AntMicro Jetson Thor Carrier Board PCB Design Review

This is a design review for the AntMicro Jetson Thor Carrier board. Check out the power-tree diagram in section 4.5.

The score is 47/100, which is surprising as these guys are very good designers. Best that we can tell the schematic Tomachie had access to was not the final.

There are several critical errors, a wiring error on I2C, lack of short circuit protection, a deficiency in the USB PD design and no protection for a software ask above the strapped voltage.

There's a lot to learn from reading the findings.
