Can we introduce thermalPadNotchLeft and thermalPadNotchRight for these types of thermal pads?

ehh

you would need to show it's more universal

i don't know if this is common

if it's in IPC then we could

yeah, makes sense. gotcha

<@757706909351411845> It seems too expensive and is also out of stock i think

You should have looked this up before you started working on it

Yes we cant order it

I think we can switch to this module if TI doesn’t show much interest in it.

Right, but why do we have to check this manually every time? I think if a chip is out of stock, we shouldn't be able to import it in tscircuit??

You could throw a warning on jlcpcb import but not an error

*tsci import

yea sg

<@757706909351411845> I'm planning to build the Allwinner T113-S4-based Trellis Core. Is that okay? Board reference: https://github.com/protolux-electronics/trellis_core

sure just get it done quickly because it looks fairly easy! Try to break out a SPI bus via a JST connector so that i can connect a display to it!

how do you program this?

The T113-S4 has a built-in FEL boot mode. We can put the board into FEL mode using the FEL button and connect it to a computer via USB-C. Then we can use `sunxi-fel` on the computer to load the bootloader/system image, Hold the FEL button → Connect the board to the Mac via USB-C → T113-S4 is detected in FEL mode → Run `sunxi-fel` commands on the Mac → Load the bootloader/image.

FEL button?

yea I mean the UBOOT button on the Trellis Core. It is used to force the T113-S4 into FEL/USB boot mode

there is no UBOOT button from the screenshot i see

Ohh dam AI f''*k me, sorry the PCB doesn't show a button labeled FEL. The repo only states that the schematic includes Reset and FEL mode buttons, while the PCB render shows them as SW1/SW2.
