I understand that the DRC can be quite buggy especially with imported footprints, thus I will be a bit lenient. - DRC **warnings** (e.g. minor silkscreen clipping) will not disqualify a board, but excessive or careless warnings may count against a board at the routing quality tie break stage. -#### I am aware that there is an issue with the flip flop footprints and we will ignore any DRC errors associated with them.

Just ensure you use a trace width of 0.17mm for them. ### Note on High-Speed & Power Rules The challenge schematic does include a high speed signal paths (a differential pair requiring a continuous reference plane). It does not however have a significant power delivery requirement (e.g. wide power traces, stitching vias). As such, no specific power plane rules are imposed in this iteration. -- cgit v1.2.3
