BLEhound is an open source Nordic nRF PCB design by BLEhound: a 6-layer, 70 × 60 mm board with 157 components (50 distinct parts). It is built around the nRF54LM20A ch37, nRF54LM20A ch38, nRF54LM20A ch39, NRF21540-QDAA and more.

⚠️ This is an unfinished revision — routing is incomplete. Do not fabricate it. V2 is the fix for V1's pin-level defects; until it is finished, working three-board hardware means a reworked V1 (flying-wire fixes applied) — see ../v1/README.md. A plain V1 works for single-board sniffing only.
V2 folds V1's fixes directly onto the PCB, so no flying wires are needed. For SYNC and the straps the firmware pin targets are unchanged — V1 reaches them by flying wire, V2 by native routing. Concretely:
