You just don't give up do you :D It was just a simple suggestion that was easy to perform, and adds another positive spec on paper. Try not to get too caught up on it. I already said the odds were low. I am only pulling your leg because you said indestructible. :-) And its not just for the CPU. Its ...

I misunderstood what you said on the non-populated board. Obviously, the test is only for fully populated board. You said you wanted indestructible. It won't be if it can't even pass a simple ESD test. I read the schematic, I know it is unlikely. Otherwise, I would have suggested ESD devices to the ...

There isn't anything you can do during board assembly except to trust the spec of the parts and take extra precautions. I have access to an ESD Generator at work. Spark plug is another way and you can find specs for those.

It is more for handling and installing. I guess you can ignore it since its low volume. Test it by hitting all external I/Os with a cigarette lighter spark against other I/Os, ground, etc. Relatively easy test. Then, you can call it indestructible. Sort of...

What about ESD test?

No urgency here either. I will take one or two as they become available. I don't need anything except for the PCB.

Edit: Ahh, forget what I said. I got the schematic mixed up. It seems the dev branch is the latest and not the other way around. Oops.

That's a heavy process for just a case. Good thing I have a 3D printer for this. Much easier and quicker.

Since the trigger hasn't been pulled on this batch. I would like to have 2 boards.

I am interested in a board.
