Status:
Received artwork from Gasha

Reviewing artwork with GDDS

Received missing parts for PCB

Need to order SAMTEC connectors
  - Can also be hand-soldered here if too late (100 mil)
  - Ordered samples

Spoke with Evelyn from UMAI regarding PCB Assembly
  - They are ready for design.  Send final artwork for quote
  - SMD Guidelines and prep instructions
  - BOM - Taken care of by database

Worked on FPGa architecture

Changed connector to new HLE series connector

Spoke with Aldec regarding simulator again

Looked at HM schematics
  - Spoke with Xiangfei

Changed UC schematics a little with Gasha

Changed Logic Analyzer settings to use all peripheral IO now



This week:
Need to get PO going for Manuf.
  - Waiting on finalized artwork
Need to get PO going for Assy.
  - Waiting on finalized artwork
Need to deliver register list to GDDS and PEBBPNP/SW

Design review of HM
  - Need to prepare schematics and datasheets for design review
  - Design documents if any
  - Involve Luca
  - Prepare BOM in database similar to UC
  - Start ordering parts for HM after design review
    - Cypress chips are harder to get now (Avnet says obsolete)
      - Another source exists
  - Need to find a time and date when all people involved can participate


Risks:
BFT92 Transistor: Infineon not delivering part (now 3 months).
  - Engineer not responsive to requests from Trish or Teresa
  - We will buy a similar transistor from Newark.
  - Ordered new transistor (PNP-RF) that might be able to replace BFT-92

PCB Capacitor traces sometimes are too long and too thin
  - Working with GDDS to evaluate and fix this

GDDS Funding for PMC

VHDL simulator
  - Aldec not willing to give University Discount
    - Since it is not in a classroom
  - Consider ModelSim
    - Integrates with Xilinx ISE
