It really looks like it. How big is that board? Can I ask you how many layers is your design?
I find it a significant challenge to route all the signals to/from the MCU pins on these small boards, while still keeping to 4 or less layers and only using through hole vias… the main problem is the vias really. They’re so big compared to the pins and signal lines, there’s never space for them due to other stuff already on the board
