  • Replace overused global labels with hierarchical and local labels
  • Add proper GND connections to components
  • Fix BACKLIGHT- net issues
  • Apply minor schematic fixes and cleanups
  • Add Wi-Fi and Bluetooth killswitches
    Add hierarchal labels like:

Quick note in the USB C wiring: you cannot use rpiboot/usbboot with this configuration, as you're wiring the USB3.0 Output to the USB C input.
RPIboot/usbboot is available on USB2_N and USB2_P on the CM5 High Speed section, over here:

Another note: Please avoid using global lables on schematics for everything, as it can get messy and confusing quickly, instead, make habit of using lables and hierarchal lables.

Update: I managed to get all the previously “deleted” PNGs, PDFs, and other files back in the branch.
I don't even know how they got yanked
