I just ordered my first PCB assembly order from JLCPCB. It only has one chip, a DRAM, and it's just a breakout for plugging into my breadboard.
I'm hoping to see if I can read and write it with an FPGA and access both from an MCU.
This breakout was drawn in Kicad.

in reply to Bo Morgan • • •The image shows a close-up of a green circuit board with a rectangular component in the center labeled “RAM1.” Around the rectangular component are numerous circular pads arranged in two columns, each connected to the component by thin lines radiating from the center. These pads are labeled with various identifiers, including “CLK”, “A0” through “A11”, “DQ0” through “DQ15”, “BA0”, “BA1”, “CKEn”, “DQML”, “DQMH”, “n_CS”, “n_WE”, and “n_RAS,” as well as several “Vdd”, “Vss”, and “n_CAS” labels. The text “BCE Coop Inc” appears in white above the central RAM component. The pads are arranged in a structured layout, suggesting a specific pinout configuration for the RAM chip.
