Open source hardware is fundamentally defined by the accessibility and sharing of design files, as established in [1] and [2]. Furthermore, [3] and [4] detail the procedural requirements for linking and distributing these design files to maintain compliance with open source hardware standards.

procedureTo ensure clarity in Open Source Hardware documentation, creators should link the Bill of Materials to design files by using matching reference designators or providing diagrams that explain the correspondence between parts and design files.

procedureThe distribution terms of Open Source Hardware must comply with the following criteria: The hardware must be released with documentation including design files, and must allow modification and distribution of the design files. Where documentation is not furnished with the physical product, there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining this documentation for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably downloading via the Internet without charge. The documentation must include design files in the preferred format for making changes, for example the native file format of a CAD program. Deliberately obfuscated design files are not allowed. Intermediate forms analogous to compiled computer code—such as printer-ready copper artwork from a CAD program—are not allowed as substitutes.

claimArduino releases its "products for makers" as open-source hardware (though not OSHWA-certified), but releases its Pro line boards, such as the Portenta C33 and Portenta X8, without design files.
