MNT Reform Motherboard 3.0 D-2

Changes (2.5 to 3.0 D-1):

  • barrel jack replaced with usb-c power delivery input (via firmwareless TPS25730)
  • usb-uart chip added that offers cpu debug consoles and system controller debug uart on that same usb-c port (CY7C65215)
  • old 5V and 3V3 main buck converters replaced with modern ones from reform next (LM62460)
  • direct power input header added for custom power solutions like solar
  • NVMe SSD slot bumped from 1x to 4x PCIe lanes (for RK3588)
  • PCIe reference clocking chip updated for PCIe Gen 3 support
  • headphone jack detection fixed (resistor update)
  • LTC4020 charge current overdraw fixed/limited
  • 5V power rails for USB redone for higher current and increased capacitance to handle more USB device power draw
  • USB hub upgraded to TUSB8041 from TUSB8040
  • unnecessary internal 5v and 3v3 power switches removed
  • added QwiiC port for I2C expansion via LPC (for example for sensors)
  • added QwiiC port for I2C expansion via CPU
  • SD card slot model replaced (old one is no longer produced)
  • 1V8 LDO updated for more modern one
  • some unnecessary/unused resistors, signals, headers removed
  • improved/redrew some routing and ground fills

Changes (3.0 D-1 to 3.0 D-2):

  • fix LPC->USB UART rx/tx crossing
  • fix USB UART USB data lines crossing
  • replace 3V3 LDO for USB UART with buck converter, got too hot at 20V input
