The low dropout voltage regulator for USB bus power according to the bill of materials must fit the layout footprint.
Steps to reproduce
Reference the parts list and layout
Examine the LDO with designator U2
Compare the size and footprint
Expected result
The size and footprint of the part specified by the bill of materials is consistent with the layout design.
Actual result
The layout design indicates a different footprint than the bill of materials specifies.
Workaround
A nasty hand soldered fine pitch effort is possible if a high quality microscope and solder station is used. Solder the terminals of the LDO by hand.
Severity level
This is low priority because project requirements imply no support for serial interfaces, except for UART/RS232 needed for host communication.
# The LDO at U2 is the wrong footprint
