Re: gEDA-user: gsch2pcb (gnetlist) generates corrupted pcb output

Fixed. Sort of. This is very strange. My files were on a SMB share (on another Linux box). Copied it to /tmp, didn't change anything, and both the test case and my original board worked. No idea why... Probably permission or timing (higher latency) issues. But permission issues don't usual

Matthew, I cut & pasted you test. Followed the instruction presented by gsch2pcb. No problem. BTW, I have never used gsch2pcb before and felt this was a good opportunity to try it out. George On 06/10/2010 03:34 PM, Matthew Lai wrote: Hi, I've posted this on the b

Re: gEDA-user: gsch2pcb (gnetlist) generates corrupted pcb output

That may be it! Will give it a try tonight. I happen to be building a DSO, too, but mine is much simpler, with just a few chips (including an FPGA), and a few dozen passive components. If the "stack" is the callstack, there could be a difference between 32-bit and 64-bit. A stack frame would

Re: gEDA-user: gsch2pcb (gnetlist) generates corrupted pcb output

Yeap, the 41 capacitors thing is my reduced test case that still shows this problem. Should be some kind of overflow, since removing ANY of the 41 capacitors make the problem go away for me. In my original design, removing a few random components also stop the error. My original schematic wo

That is interesting. The only possibility I can think of is that my system is 64-bit. I built my own gEDA from newest official tarball (1.6.1-20100214 ), with all default options ("./configure", "make", "make install"). I did rem

Before I go off and make them myself, does anyone here have any symbols for the Zilog Z8018216FSC microprocessor or the SMSC FDC37C665IR super-io chip? Something I could use to steal a symbol from an old Protel schematic would be great too. -- David Griffith dgri...@cs.csubak.edu A: Becau
