Re: [Kicad-developers] Dealing with multifunction pins (Symbol)

Hello, Augusto! Your ideas regarding multiplexed I/Os are good, but might only be sufficient for small to medium-complex CPUs/FPGAs/modules/circuits. If you follow the latest developments, you will notice that there are even bigger things coming up and it will get more and more difficult to vis

This is dependent on the size of the change. If it's small change, patches are fine. If it's a very large change, then I prefer that you create a public repo on launchpad so I can clone it locally to review and test it. You have to use your best judgment on this. It's important to get input fro

There is no specified policy about this as far as I see it. Generally we only use the bug tracker for bugs and stuff where people just don't have time to start coding. So in conclusion, you should be good if you just send patches to the dev list. If you want to create some bugs to relate to 6.0 f

You can remove the boost patches. They are only of historical concern, and they'll live in Git for any future archaeologist who cares. Adam On Tue, Jan 30, 2018 at 3:20 PM, Jeff Young wrote: > Yeah, I didn’t patch my boost either. (I can’t remember if I MacPorts’d it > or Homebrew’d it, but I

If we implement a feature or an improvement to a feature, does it need an issue, or do we just send patches to the dev-list? (Obviously this is for 6.0, so I’m just trying to understand the process.) Thanks, Jeff. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.ne

Wayne, I don’t think so. I use a stock MacPorts boost since long before you removed boost from KiCad build. This might not be representative, but I didn’t see any problems. I had a quick look into Adams build scripts and I didn’t see that he is building his own boost (with the patches) somewhe

Nick- Thanks for the test. I'm attaching revised patch that allows multiple OpenCASCADE installations on a single machine. I've tested with a few different OpenCASCADE versions down to 6.8 with no issues installed alongside OCE 0.17. You can choose which you want to link by using either "-DKICA

Augusto, Most of this is going to be addressed during the next development cycle when the new symbol library and schematic file format are implemented. At the moment, there is no plan at this time to allow for resizing symbols in schematics. Since symbols will be embedded in the schematic, resizi

Hi, I've been designing schematics with some stm32 parts using the standard Kicad libraries, and a lot of these microcontrollers has 10+ functions multiplexed in each I/O pin. In the standard library the symbols displays all possible configurations available to each pin, I understand the moti

OCCT is usually quite a few commits ahead of OCE; in fact OCE is usually based on the earlier release of OCCT. In addition to that, since we build in MSYS on MSWin, a patch (which is an ugly hack) is required to support non-ASCII characters in file names. - Cirilo On Mon, Jan 29, 2018 at 8:08 PM,
