Hardware: a messy landscape we all love
summary
A public Open Hardware Portal hosts dozens of open-source KiCad designs (permissive license) including FPGA, Nvidia and Snapdragon boards and supplies KiCad footprints and Blender models plus datasheet links. The site is a live database with interactive KiCanvas schematic previews and detailed stack-up visualizations, an open flow to import big boards, and a visualization framework called Visual System Designer — a block-level diagram editor that can look up components from the portal, generate board definition files and drive simulation.
