(And the author doesn't seem to understand decoupling capacitors, but most people don't understand decoupling capacitors, including most datasheet authors, so that doesn't surprise me.)

Also, KiCad's "solutions" for BOMs are hilariously, absurdly terrible. But that helps me earn a living, so I can't complain too much....

Without that critical piece of design work, you may as well call this "How to build a Raspberry Pi Nano from scratch". Which, to be fair, is also a good article to write.

But step 1 for really building a dev board is answering the question, "What do I need from this that I can't get from a $5 Amazon purchase?"

The website went down because of the traffic and large images, so I've temporarily switched hosting, and it should stay up now (DNS propagation might take a bit though), but I'm going to get those images smaller ASAP, thanks to everyone who posted web archives!

I'm also going to alter some of the reasoning for some of the stuff like decoupling capacitors, but the guide is still meant for complete beginners, and lots of the terminology/reasoning can be pretty overwhelming, and I still have a lot to learn about decoupling/other stuff!

I'll also add a part about what you actually need on your devboard, that's a great suggestion!

You can find a JOURNAL.md in EVERY SINGLE one of my hardware projects https://github.com/KaiPereira?tab=repositories so if you guys want to see more guides/tutorials, let me know :D

Any archived version?

Well, that bodes well for the rest of the article..
