  4. Manufacturing packageCompleted

    Gerber files, BOM and CPL / placement files complete — ready for factory quoting.

  5. Prototype manufacturingNext step

    Next milestone: board fabrication and parts procurement.

  6. Assembly and bring-upUpcoming

    Board assembly, then power, boot and interface checks on the first units.

  7. Hardware testing and validationUpcoming

    Ethernet, LTE, USB, RS-485, sensor I/O, power range and thermal checks against the design intent.

  8. Design revision if requiredFuture

    Any fixes found during bring-up and testing folded into a revised board.

  9. Pilot / small production batchFuture
