## Blueprint

**Schematics published.** Raspberry Pi publishes only a 'reduced' schematic (known to be missing some nets/reference designators) and a mechanical drawing; no full production schematic or PCB source is released.

### Key parts

| Part | Role | Datasheet |
|---|---|---|
| RP3A0 (Broadcom die + RAM, RPi-packaged) | SoC (4x Cortex-A53) |  |

_Notes:_ 'Reduced schematics' is Raspberry Pi's own label for this document; forum reports say it's missing connections/reference designators vs. the shipping board. No KiCad/Eagle/Altium source or Gerbers published. RP3A0 has no separate public datasheet from Raspberry Pi or Broadcom.
