lepton-symcheck - Lepton EDA Symbol Checker
lepton-symcheck [-h] [-v] [-q]
symbol1 [...symbolN]
lepton-symcheck is a symbol checker for Lepton EDA. Here is
a list of checks that lepton-symcheck performs:
- •
- Checks for graphical attribute (if present does varied tests)
- •
- Checks for the device attribute
- •
- Checks for various other missing attributes (pinlabel,
pintype, pinseq, footprint, refdes)
- •
- Checks to make sure that the active pin end is on the 100 unit grid.
- •
- Checks the uses of the various attributes (duplicates, incorrect syntax,
invalid values, etc...)
- •
- Checks for obsolete, old, and forbidden attributes
- •
- Checks for any nets or buses within a symbol
- •
- Checks for any other connections within a symbol
- •
- Checks to make sure the number of pins is the correct number
lepton-symcheck accepts the following options:
- -q, --quiet
- Quiet mode on. This mode turns off all warnings/notes/messages.
(optional)
- -v, --verbose
- Verbose mode 1. This mode will show all error messages (optional)
- -vv
- Verbose mode 2. This mode will show all error and warning messages
(optional)
- -vvv
- Verbose mode 2. This mode will show all error, warning, and info messages
(optional)
- -h, --help
- Usage summary / lepton-symcheck help
- symbol1
[...symbolN]
- At least one symbol file must be specified. If multiple symbols are
specified then they are sequentially read in and checked. It is important
that the schematic(s) follow all the options (i.e. last).
Here are some examples on how to run lepton-symcheck:
To get usage information just run:
lepton-symcheck
To actually check a symbol with just error counts, run:
lepton-symcheck symbolfilename.sym
To get the actuall error messages, run:
lepton-symcheck -v symbolfilename.sym
To see all the error messages and warnings, run:
lepton-symcheck -vv symbolfilename.sym
To see all the error messages, warnings, and parse info, run:
lepton-symcheck -vvv symbolfilename.sym
lepton-symcheck respects the following environment
variable:
- GEDADATA
- specifies where the various required scheme and rc files are located (the
default is ${prefix}/share/lepton-eda). This environment variable does not
need to be set by the end user unless they are moving the executables to a
new install ${prefix}.
