Hello all,
I have made my own cape to go on the MKR GSM 1400 board but am wanting to turn this into a single board. I am very familiar with Eagle PCB and with the downloads available I know it isn't difficult to do this from a PCB perspective. However, I am wondering if it is just as simple as that or if the chips are anything specific .i.e. parts that only come from Arduino? I notice on some of the boards they have Arduino branded components.
Has anyone else done similar, can anyone point me in the right direction, please?
That simple for AVR DIP from the past. Bit more skill required for SMC uC. Schematics are available for all Arduino hardware.

16MHz is pretty forgiving, but up above 48 MHz, you really need to have your good-design hat on your head.
Thank you very much @mrburnette . I had done plenty of googling but wasn't sure if I was missing something.
The hard part is going to be finding the ATMega328 chips if you are going to make Uno/Nano type boards. Let us know if you find a source for them that does not want an arm and leg.
I favor the MiniCore core to bootload my 328 chips. Makes it easy to set clock frequency and source and other options.
