@Badwolf Suggested a jumper for the flash for bank switching. So just added that in.

Sorry about that :P

@exxos: it occurs to me that with a fixed SDRAM memory choice, you don't need the ALTRAM jumper -- you could repurpose that as the bank toggle, or relabel it OPTION2 for some futher choice down the line.

Possibly.. or a altram disable jumper may be useful :shrug:

Though if my revision untimely goes in your GitHub then people may change stuff anyway. :shrug:

Finished the BOM . Had a bit of a fight with it all. The good thing is there is a script to export in JLC format. In eagle I had to write my own scripts to generate the BOM in the correct format. So good someone did a kicad script to do it.

:bravo:

I think I may have made a proper BOM once for a board with only passives on it, but I never got very far with anything complicated! :)

That always worked for me in till today. Though I was screwing around with all sorts of USB drivers when trying to get the pico drive to work properly. So something could have broke then :roll:
