pcb-rnd is a modular[5] and compact (core under 60k SLOC, plugins at 100k SLOC)[5] software application used for layout design of electrical circuits.[6] Pcb-rnd is used professionally as well as in universities.[7] Pre-built packages are available on multiple 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 support for batch processing and automation.[14] The software provides user interfaces for command line, gtk2+gdk, gtk2+gl, gtk4+gl, and motif [15] supporting multiple 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 (called 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).
