Hardware Switch 2 Boardview

[slimeinacloak]

Pulled the boardview xzz has of the switch 2 for yall

(FlexBV free can view the .pcb file but I also converted to .bvr aswell)

EDIT 07/2026: I now run a phone, computer and console repair discord server where all the files from XZZ can be downloaded for free :3 https://discord.gg/TWU4vJwyht
Also I made a webbased boardviewer for XZZ pcb files that supports trace layers: https://slimeinacloak.github.io/XZZPCB-ImHex/

Did you just prod connections to see what went where?

I didnt make the boardview xinzhizao did, they make them by taking scans of each layer of the board to map the traces

I can't wait to fix a broken Switch 2... Most likely the broken Switch 2's are banned.

I made a very basic viewer for the trace layers of the xzz pcbs if anyone needs thatI will make it better when I have time during the week but rn its kinda usable, it pretty much only renders the layers atm doesnt do any nets or stuff

This is very cool, and useful to me personally since FlexBV is not available for my platform.
