diptrace-board-bringup

diptrace-board-bringup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fireostendere/mcp_diptrace. It costs 87 tokens per session (1,019 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for planning or guiding the first power-on and functional testing of a specific assembled PCB revision. Board bring-up means applying power carefully, programming the board, measuring signals, and checking whether it works as intended.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a bring-up procedure, guide measurements, plan a test fixture, check programming, and define repeatable production tests.
Why use it?
It turns a risky first test into a procedure with probe points, limits, expected ranges, stop conditions, and fault-isolation steps. It uses the exact board revision, fitted parts, and firmware instead of assuming another board is equivalent.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

diptrace-board-bringup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

DipTrace board bring-up and production test

RAG: engineering memory by default — shared workflow. Use indexed measurement, circuit and bring-up material to derive the test sequence, probe strategy, limits and fault-isolation plan for this exact board.

Use the exact schematic/PCB, fitted BOM, component rules, release evidence, and firmware revision. Planning produces a procedure; a physical test passes only from actual observed measurements. Do not energize or flash hardware from a planning request.

Prepare the procedure

  1. Resolve board revision and unit/serial identity, assembly/rework state, available instruments, supply, programming interface, and requested mode: plan or guided run. Check pinouts and testpoint nets from the actual design; do not reuse another board's connector order.
  2. Read rules/ and the project specification. For every measurement define the condition/load, probe points and reference, method, expected range/tolerance, source/calculation, and stop condition.
  3. Derive supply voltage, initial current limit, rail/startup expectations, and thermal limits from this design and the instruments. Leave unknown values unresolved. Never choose a universal current limit or infer a short from a generic resistance threshold. Inspect low-resistance rails and charging capacitors in context.
  4. Plan access to power/GND, reset/boot, debug, and representative interfaces. If PCB changes are requested, use testpoint-planner and an ECO; existing connector access may suffice. Do not load sensitive RF, crystal, high-impedance, or fast nets with an unspecified probe or long stub.

First article sequence

  1. Unpowered inspection: correct parts/variant, orientation/polarity, solder bridges, connector mating, exposed pads, missing/DNP parts, and known assembly defects.
  2. With power removed, check ground and supply continuity/resistance and isolation required by the design. Account for capacitors and parallel semiconductor paths.
  3. Power from the specified current-limited source using the approved connection sequence. Observe input current, rails, sequencing, reset, and heating. Stop and remove power on a defined limit violation, unexpected heating, or abnormal behavior; record the fault before retrying.
  4. Use the exact target/programmer and verify device identity before flashing. Record firmware hash, boot configuration, programming/verification results, and logs. Mass erase, irreversible fuses, and security provisioning require their own scope. Use an installed flashing/serial tool only after discovering its actual capability.
  5. Exercise one subsystem at a time, then combined loads and interfaces. Test RF last when present. Compare measurements with the planned bounds; a missing instrument leaves that test NOT_RUN, not PASS.
  6. For failures, preserve logs and measurements, isolate the owning subsystem, and record any physical rework as an ECO through diptrace-revision-review.
