Exercise No. 35: Motherboard Development Process

Partial Solution 1

a) When developing a motherboard, the hardware design department selects a chipset that meets the requirements. The module used by this department is called design software (Design SW is used at every step in this part). After the chipset reference schematics and the chipset documents have been downloaded, the same department proceeds with searching for an appropriate motherboard. If the board is not close to the custom specification, the search process starts again. Otherwise, if a board closest to the custom specification has been found, it is then used as a starting schematic. Then simultaneously the design department adds features from other reference boards and removes the useless features from the selected starting schematic.
