I=92m also hesitant to use the =93do this at the last minute=94 scheme.

A through hole jumper is certainly an option, but I was hoping for a =
solution that didn=92t require a physical component (e.g. a =93virtual=94 =
component in gschem + pcb that allows you to legally connect the AGND =
and DGND nets.

Open to suggestions from other folks as well (I imagine this is a very =
common need =97 single-point ground in a mixed signal board).

Thanks,
James
