Technical Documentation & BOM

An embedded increment is not done if only the author can wire it. This subject is producing the artefacts a teammate or assessor needs: a wiring diagram or pin map, a bill of materials, and short firmware notes (how to flash, which branch, which config). Pretty slides are optional; traceability from requirement to part is not.

Starting Points

Firmware architecture
Studio template for BOM / wiring (if provided) or a simple spreadsheet plus a schematic screenshot.
ISO/IEC/IEEE 15289 — overview of information items in systems engineering (awareness).

Key Points

You maintain a BOM with part identity, quantity, and a source or datasheet link.
You publish a pin map or wiring diagram that matches the device on the bench.
You write flash/build instructions a classmate can follow without asking you.
You keep documentation in the repo and update it when the hardware changes.
You can trace a key requirement to a part or firmware module in that documentation.
