pcb-rnd is a modular[5] and compact (core under 60k source lines of code (SLOC), plug-ins at 100k SLOC)[5] electronic design automation (EDA) and computer-aided design (CAD) software application used for layout design of electrical circuits.[6] It is used professionally and in universities.[7] Pre-built packages are available on several operating systems.[8][9][10][11] The software focuses on multiple file format support,[12] scripting, multiple font support,[13] a query language and command-line interface support for batch processing and automation.[14] The software provides user interfaces for command line, GTK2+gdk or +gl, GTK4+gl, and Motif[15] supporting multiple graphical user interfaces (GUIs) with the same thing for every interface.[16]
History
pcb-rnd was originally developed from a friendly fork of the geda PCB project. In 2020, pcb-rnd was funded through NGI0 PET as a part of the European Commission's Next Generation Internet program.[6]
A whole EDA suite, named Ringdove, has emerged around pcb-rnd by 2023, featuring a schematics editor (sch-rnd), a gerber–excellon–CAM viewer (camv-rnd), and a PCB autorouter (route-rnd).
