Design on PC, load onto MainBlock

My idea is, that you design you Phone on your PC or Mac in a (cloud-executed) drag’n’drop client and load the design onto the Motherboard or main block. With this concept, you don’t have to put a microcontroller into every block to make the mainblock autodetecting the design. The MainBlock would know where the processor,… are and could run faster. You could see in the PC client if the parts are compatible and order them online.
i actually thought of moving the processor into the breadboard to conserve on data transmission, and have bridges connecting the panel and the circuit board. With a phone design, there would need to be some protection to make sure you were flashing the wrong blokmap… something could break or go boom. Maybe hook to usb, computer reads whats on the board, imprints blockmap into phone’s NVRAM and startup, removing any module wipes the phone and requires a remap.
You are saying we just make a phone and then it comes as one sealed thing like an iPhone? That completely defeats the per pose of being able to replace something if one part breaks you don’t need a whole new phone.
Only issue I would have with that is the fact that I’m hoping to swap out modules on the go, like if I need to replace a larger battery with a smaller battery and a speaker or camera. I don’t plan on always having modules attached that I don’t use regularly.
To Gold_Squid1,All Operating systems are written using a compiler (a grain of salt please).A compiler takes tons of memory and computing power.Writing an operating system on the phone implies writing it in machine code something that’s not been done since the early 60’s. The Android Opsys is a complicated and convoluted piece of coding.I’m sure that its not written on a ‘droid’.I sure wouldn’t want to write a Opsys as complex as this could be in machine language. (even that takes and assembler to create the bits necessary to run anything),
