Tangent: I'm about to start learning EDA and what I really want is a data format for my designs. Something that I can write my own code to generate and manipulate as well as using standard GUI tools.
Is there any "data first" EDA package? Something more "docbook" and less "Microsoft Word"?
- avhon1 6y agoI've heard of people generating designs via scripts in gEDA. http://www.geda-project.org/ http://www.geda-project.org/
- roland35 6y agoYes gEDA is what you want! Each component of gEDA (schematic, layout, etc) works on text files which you can script up easily.
- rta5 6y agoAt KiCon 2019 there was a presentation on SKiDL which allows you to describe circuits in Python. You can then output a netlist for use in KiCAD's PCB tool (or potentially other EDA tools). I have not tried to use it personally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WErQYI2A36M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WErQYI2A36M https://github.com/xesscorp/skidl https://github.com/xesscorp/skidl
