I start use olinuxino a20.Thanks - this one looks very promising. I like the fact it is completely open source, including board layouts and schematics.IIRC BeagleBone (both white and black) are also provided with schematics, pcb layouts etc.yes. olimex do not release pcb layout files.
I believe they are found on their github project (although I haven't actually downloaded and looked a them - they claim those are there). The engineers will look at them though, I am sure.
although it is early days if your client requires full PCB layouts in order to absolutely guarantee total vendor independence you might consider helping get this completed: http://www.gplsquared.com/SoM2/SoM2.html
They are not interested in supporting a project which may or may not go anywhere. They are looking for a company and project with a proven track record.
dr ajith kumar and joe martindale have (apart from getting the PMIC pad sizes wrong so they have to power it from an external 3.3v supply) pretty much got this done, with full schematics and PCB files released under the GPLv3 using KiCAD. personally i'm a bit stunned and dead impressed that they managed to do DDR3 layout *by hand* in KiCAD. l.
