This is a carrier board for the @Raspberry_Pi@twitter.com CM4.
It has USB-C for power, HDMI, USB-A and microSD.
All on a single copper layer without any vias or even solder mask.
The point being, this is not as scary as you might think it is. Don't be intimidated, you can do this too🙂

And yes HDMI is totally working. This will certainly pass no FCC certification but it will be totally fine for your hobby project 🙂

If you leave out the status LED circuits this uses no more than 10 components. It of course leaves out some safety measure that you don't always need, the point is to demonstrate just how little is really necessary to get things going. This is true for many SoMs not just the CM4.

Ok just to be clear. Please don't suffer through making a PCB at home. The idea was to show you that high-speed signals can be ok even in the worst of circumstances, a 2$ PCB will do an infinitely better job than this milled PCB 😄

And as requested here is just the carrier.

Yes the connectors are not super easy to solder, you need magnification and a steady hand but a 30$ stereo-microscope totally does the job here. If you did SMD before and feel ok about it you will have no issue.
Below is a trick to get the alignment right when hand soldering.
