I heard about this some time back. Just like software, electronics vendors give away all their design and research on circuit boards. I was hoping to make use of it in some way.
The only thing I can think of it is Raspberry Pi. I am not sure whether it is an open source project. But it is cheap, useful and popular. Do share if you know of any open source project in electronics.

raspberry isnt technically open source . the os is open source but i think the hardware doesnt . if the hardware is open source there are probably many raspberry pi clone and also they will give full schemathic but what making raspberyy pi popular is not because the open source factor of the hardware but also the open source software , cheap , and last but not least there are already so many resource for it . i actually planning to create web server that hosted in my house with raspberry pi if i have the money because i want to get the best latency

I know Raspberry Pi is not open source. Even mentioned that in my post. But, just imagine. A good open source project could get as popular as Raspberry Pi.

Hardware for Raspberrypi is no secret. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentatio...spberrypi/

From there, you could find everything about Raspberrypi including schematics, processors, mechanical drawings etc.

I think you thought for arduino. It's a very basic computer, it doesn't even has a real operating system.
But fully opensource and it has very low just about 1W power consumption.

None of them are open source, you can not easily modify them when you remove a cable. I think open source computers existed back in 90s when everything was still new. Now, everything is squished up in very small pieces and it is almost impossible to make changes to them.
