Removal of Components from BBBW for Custom PCB.

[Brian Dohler]

Hi All,

I'm making a custom BBBW for a school project. I'm adding a few peripherals but would like to strip down what is unnecessary in order to save on BOM costs. The first to go is the large HDMI chip. It looks like there's a few small components which support it. I just want to be sure that i can remove them without causes issues for the Linux OS. 

I'm in particular interested in the components above. OSC1 outputs to GPIO3_21, which is used in the Cape header. I'm curious if the OSD3358 ever uses this clock as an input, however, or whether it's just to save space in the headers.

Thanks in advance,

Brian Dohler

HDMI and the barrel connector was already removed from BBG and BBGW.  Out of curiosity, why not start with that instead?
