The hardware architecture

When it comes to the hardware architecture, the best way to understand the main pieces and how they connect and interact with each other is to create a hardware block diagram. The block diagram can be generated using several different methods. The first, and my preferred method, is to use the schematic capture tool. These tools often have high-level organizational elements that allow a schematic page to be represented as a block.

Interconnects can be created between the blocks, which then shows how the blocks interact with each other and also provides an easy way to navigate the schematic project. Altium is a tool that has such features but, unfortunately, it's a professional development tool and probably outside ...
