The project made a few strides forward today after a fairly long break.

Per request, the board was switched to a single sided population. This will simplify the assembly process for those willing to try it at home with a toaster or hotplate.

The expansion connector was made Lichen PUB compatible by switching to a .1" through hole header. For grins I also added a battery header similar to the one on the Beaglebone Black.

While I was at it, I added some bling to the bottom.

Hopefully the Beagleboard guys will let me keep Boris on there. :)
