Test Pads

Open derwana opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I recently worked a lot with the Raspberry Pi Zero and i really liked the existence of test pads for debugging. Would be great to see some (labeled) pads for testing supply voltages, the I2C bus etc. on this PCB too.

Test pads is something I've considered, but I think once we get to a point where the board is ready for a first test run, we can figure out what things specifically we'd like to see test points for and add them then. (Which is the same approach we've taken with JTAG on the PCI-e side of things.)

+1 Test points are an invaluable tool for debugging the board itself and anything made with it. Also, keep up the good work :)
