Follow-up to an earlier post, samples of the CM4 adapter-shim arrived and function as intended.

There was some drift on the SMD mezzanine connectors that required more force to attach the CM4, but overall the quality for a double-sided JLC build was pretty good.

USB expansion with the hub and CC resistors let me use all of the ports (albeit at reduced speed) on the standard CM5 io board without touching the single PCIE2 lane. i had some feedback about adding a USB3 bridge instead, but that would have jumped the cost way above the savings over using an actual CM5.
