Sample Design: USB AuthKey

This reference design was developed as an example of how quickly a team of collaborating users can develop a hardware product. This was first designed by me for Altium Live 2019, and a team of engineers based in USA, France, Germany and Spain collaborated live to build the entire project using Altium Designer and Altium 365 within the space of a 45 minute presentation.

Later I realized this was a good tutorial or demo standalone. You can watch it here:
