REVISIONS

REV3.0.2
* Fixed part numbers for FAB/BOM
** Changed 1V0 Regulator (U8) to ST1S06PUR (for supply constraints)
** Changed SPI Flash (U12) to AT25SF041-SSHD (for supply constraints)
** Changed 1V8 (U13) to NCP500SN18T1G (for supply constraints)


KNOWN PROBLEMS :
* C31 value is 2.2uF not 2.2nF like displayed in the schematic, BOM value were OK.
* XMOS XS1-L16A-128-QF124-C8 needs careful attention to be soldered properly.
* Some capacitor footprints and layout around codec0 need to be improved to avoid assembly problems.
* Assembly not tested with XMOS XS1-L16A-128-QF124-C10 device.



REV3.0.0 & REV3.0.1
* Fixed part numbers for FAB/BOM.
* Added second stereo output
* Updated firmware to REV3
* Removed wide input external DC supply, using 5V input instead

REV2.0.1 
* Part number and manufacturer added in 8SounsdUSB.xls file. (all other files are still good at REV2.0)
