There is no schematics in the datasheet of Opta. Where can I watch it? This question is probably for the developers of ArduinoTeam.
it's a third party product (from Finder), the partnership with Arduino seems to be on the software side.
Finder might not feel relevant to release schematics, it's not an open design

The Finder info is here - including contact details:
The schematics of the Arduino Opta are not public.
It would be useful if the closed-source products were clearly identified as such.
Especially as Arduino is best-known for open-source - and, indeed, does itself make much of that:

We'll note that feedback, thanks.
Thanks.
Is it true that all Arduino PRO hardware is closed-source?
Not all of the PRO family boards are closed-source
For example the Portenta Breakout is fully open-source
https://docs.arduino.cc/hardware/portenta-breakout
Then on the Portenta H7 it is not 100% open-source, we do not publish the PCB design, but we do publish the schematics of the board, core and so on. https://docs.arduino.cc/hardware/portenta-h7
I See - thanks.
All the more important, then, to clearly identify which parts are open and which are not.
Also which parts are 3rd-party.
Finder Opta is a very very intersting product, maybe the only one naturally qualified for profesional -industrial- environments. We expected that an Arduino-based device would follow Arduino principes -that's why we're all here-.
In my case, the project is fading to black due to ADC lack of performance. The ADC front-end is clear to me, but I suspect that ADC reference/S&H times may be improved (code?/hard?) difficult to know without a schematic.
Can I flash the Opta Wi-Fi STM32 at 0x0800 like the Giga R1 Wi-Fi? Or does it have a flakey PMIC like the H7
Hello,
You can find now the schematics of Opta at: https://docs.arduino.cc/hardware/opta/
