       ok, here we go, one qualcomm processor module for MNT Reform/Pocket/Next fully routed. tomorrow polishing/checks/silkscreen etc... and then: will it power on? :D

       @mntmn Alright, curious. As someone else who has done these kind of large projects, do you do a bunch of tests before first power on or just check for short and throw power at it. I had one coworker who was very much the former and one who was very much the latter.

       @mntmn is it more powerful than the RK3588 or does it have some other benefits?

       @mntmn What's going to make this module different, and better in some ways, than the others, including the rcore that's shipping in the Next? In other words, what makes this SoC worth adding? Not being skeptical, just curious. Regardless, I'm excited to see more work on the MNT Reform family.

       @matt yeah, the full answer to that is quite verbose, i should probably write it up soon, but i also don't want to overpromise before i know approximately how well this thing works in practice

       @mntmn I am confused no length matching? Are those differential signals all independent from each other?

       @hk length matching (deskewing) is part of polishing i'm doing today!

       @otte_homan these are differential pairs. all modern high speed interfaces use differential signals of some kind, like usb, pcie, hdmi, displayport, dsi, csi, ...
