Hi Robert,
I open iMX6 PCB project and the the first question that came to my mind was How to Debug It??
Because when we design a PCB project we use some "zero-ohm resistors" at main components power rail for probable problems and debugging, with these zero-ohm resistors we can disconnect any component from main power rail and if we don't place these zero-ohm resistors we have not any way to debug except desoldering main components!! with these zero-ohm resistor we have a new problem that the power plane will not a be a solid plane and have some split planes.
How do you handle any problem when you use a solid power plane? And if we use zero-ohm resistors how can we get the best solid plane and minimize the split planes? Is there a good and general guideline?
Thanks
