FROM SELECTION TO PRODUCTION
Turn a product choice into a board requirement.
Confirm the exact device, then connect sourcing, board preparation and assembly review in one project.
Engineering checkpoints
- Use the vendor-native logic, memory and DSP definitions; unlike resource units are not directly equivalent.
- Confirm package pinout, I/O bank voltages, configuration method and the supported tool release before layout.
- Review power sequencing, decoupling, BGA escape routing and programming access with the complete ordering number.
- Check the core, flash/RAM, peripherals, pin multiplexing and safety/security requirements together.
- Confirm debugger, IDE/compiler version, bootloader and in-circuit programming access for production.
