Which one of these BGA fanouts is better?
Both are the same nominal trace/space, both are skew matched by the time you get to the vertical "home run" area heading towards the connector.
But TDR of the first one wasn't that great. Let's see if the second one is any better when the simulation finishes...

BGA fanout of a diffpair coming off a pair of vertically stacked BGA lands so the trace running to the upper one is longer than the lower until a bunch of meanders straighten them back out
Alternate layout with the track coming left from the balls and tightly coupled the whole way but taking a bit more space and needing much less meanders

This afternoon, fulfilling a Mother’s Day request a day early, the family hiked the Cascades in Pembroke, VA. The trail transits up Little Stony Creek to this fantastic set of falls. We had the fortunate timing of being there not long after heavy rains. Perfect weather for it too.

A picturesque waterfall cascades down rocky cliffs surrounded by lush green trees. The clear water pools at the base, reflecting the vibrant greenery above.
A shallow but clear stream winds through rocks in its path. The surrounding forest is lush and green, with tall trees extending above the view.

Now that the replacement box for the laptop is working I am having fun installing rust. Once that finishes then COBOL and then a basic compiler.

RUST installed. Checked by running update and all is good.

This is a fun one. I have a Debian box with a FTDI USB-UART dongle on it that is connected to an FPGA board that runs a UART receiver which displays
When I open the UART in "screen" and press keys, everything works as intended.
But when I try to send a few bytes manually by doing "echo -ne \xaa > /dev/ttyUSB7", this also works... but a few hundred ms after the "echo" command finishes, a mysterious 0x13 byte appears. Any idea WTF is happening?
