Found the first bug in the board and it's a doozy.

The 12V0_EN line isn't actually wired to the supervisor, so the supervisor has no way to actually turn power on to any of the other rails. Oops.

I can work around this by using serial console on the power board and manually running "output forceon" to turn it on, so it's not the end of the world (and I could add a pullup on the PCB to make it come up automatically if needed). But still annoying.

In response to this post

12V rail isn't shorted, there's only a miniscule increase in power consumption when I turn it on. But the VCCINT rail isn't coming up (according to the supervisor).

Time to dig deeper.


VCCINT measures 1.3 ohms to ground. That sounds... not healthy.

Betting it's a solder defect, the paste print there was not very good.

Time to hot air off the DC-DC and see if it clears the short, I guess?

I don't think it's the FPGA, it tested good earlier in the day and I baked it for quite a while before reflow just to make sure.
