All necessary manufacturing files are packaged in every `SC64.zip` file in GitHub releases. Please download latest release before proceeding with the instructions.
2. Order all parts listed in the BOM file or use PCB assembly service together with your PCB order

### **Plastic shell**
1. Locate `.stl` files inside `hw/shell` folder
2. Use these files in the slicer and 3D printer of your choice or order ready made prints from 3D printing company
3. Find matching screws, dimensions are the same as on retail N64 cartridges

### **Putting it together**
There are no special requirements for soldering components to board. All chips and connectors can be soldered with standard manual soldering iron, although hot air station is recommended. Interactive BOM has every component and its value highlighted on PCB drawings and it's strongly recommended to use during assembly process. You can skip this step if PCB assembly service was used in previous steps.
For initial programming you are going to need a PC and a USB to UART (serial) adapter (3.3V signaling is required). These steps assume you are using modern Windows OS (version 10 or higher).
As for software here's list of required applications:
11. Wait until programming process has finished (**DO NOT STOP PROGRAMMING PROCESS OR DISCONNECT SC64 BOARD FROM PC**, doing so might irrecoverably break programming through UART header and you would need to program microcontroller, FPGA and bootloader with separate dedicated programming interfaces through *Tag-Connect* connector on the PCB)
This issue can be attributed to incorrectly programmed FT232H EEPROM in the first programming step. Check again in `FT_PROG` program if device was configured properly. Once FPGA and microcontroller has been programmed successfully `primer.py` script needs to be run in special mode. Please use command `python3 primer.py COMx sc64_firmware.bin --only-bootloader` to try programming bootloader again.
