Used for NVMe drives or PCIe cards. Note that the official bootloader doesn't support NVMe booting natively.
The SODIMM edge connector is the bridge. In your Boardview, you will see pin labels like J1_PIN42 or CONN_A_16 . Understanding the CM4 standard pinout is essential. The Boardview allows you to see which physical trace connects to which pin.
If a liquid spill destroys a copper pad under a power management IC (PMIC), a boardview allows you to click the broken pad to see exactly which other capacitors or resistors share that electrical path ("net"), making jumper wire bypasses simple. 3.

The Ultimate Guide to the CM4+94V0 Boardview: Troubleshooting, Schematics, and Repair
If your CM4 is showing symptoms of failure, a boardview file is your best guide. 1. The "No Power" or "No Boot" Scenario Used for NVMe drives or PCIe cards
Corrosion or physical scratches can sever the microscopic copper paths (traces) inside the board. The boardview reveals where the trace is supposed to go, allowing you to solder a jumper wire to restore continuity. 3. Identifying Burned Components
Identify "invisible" traces buried in the middle layers of the PCB. In your Boardview, you will see pin labels
A boardview file is a specialized digital document ( .BRD , .BDV , .CAD , or .GRB ) that provides a highly detailed, interactive 3D or 2D visual representation of a PCB.
