rtlm (Open-Racing-Telemetry)ECADConfidence: Medium

a racing telemetry board was reviewed against a local saved working board (PCB/schematic SHA256s pinned, not a pushed commit or fab release); ERC shows 0 but DRC shows 18 existing violations and 23 RF-only unconnected reports, and USB-only first flashing is still unqualified because USB powers the whole shared 3.3 V domain.
