Frustratingly, they have obviously not open sourced all design files. The only similar file formats present in that repo are: PDF, DXF, and SVG. No source files!

We will post the design files soon. We just need to organize them a bit.
P.S. I'm a Wiretrustee author

Okay great! Just wanted to make sure. I’ve recently used the CERN-OHL-P license for my hardware designs, you might want to consider that.
Thanks for the reply. Sorry about the supply chain problems, very frustrating.

Very exciting! Happenstance yesterday renewed my interest in DIYing a CM4-based laptop motherboard replacement, and having more open designs to learn from will only help that. I'm looking at qty=1 so expensive components aren't such an impediment...
I wish more designs would go open when they're no longer commercially viable. All it's going to do in the long term is breed better hardware designers, after all.

After you haven't heard from us since August, we are calling you with some news today. It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce that we have stopped working on the Wiretrustee CM4 SATA board. It was a very exciting time for all of us in the team during which we received a lot of support from all of you. Almost 10,000 followers of our Crowd Supply page show that we were not completely wrong.
But in the end, we don't see any improvements in the current situation of the global electronic components supply chain. So far, there's no telling when we might be able to offer you the board at an acceptable price.
To offer you at least something, we have decided to open-source all the design files that we created so far. You will find them soon on GitHub under the following link: https://github.com/wiretrustee/cm4-sata-board
In the meantime, we have fully dedicated ourselves to another project and further expanded the P2P network developed for the board. We will now continue to pursue this with full force and extend it with further functionalities to a full open-source alternative for traditional VPN.
We would be very happy if you support us in this project and leave us a star on GitHub. https://github.com/wiretrustee/wiretrustee
