Mostly just a SoC, some power supplies, headers, and other connectors.
 However, one of our guys wants to integrate resistors and small caps
into the PCB, because it's cheaper in large volume.  I understand that
the free tools can't do that, at least not directly.  Is there an
indirect way to do it?  By and large, this should be a simple board,
except for certain issues like that.
