KiCad example loading #25
Comments
Hi! Thanks for you feedback a) Checkout the develop branch and test it again: https://github.com/FPGAwars/icezum/tree/develop The library should be automatically loaded. If not, please, tell me in this issue b) The board is currently being routed in the develop branch. All the placement is finished, all the 3D component have modeled (in freecad) and the routing is 20% (only the first layer). I hope that the migration to kicad will be finished in around two weeks Any feedback is welcome :-) |
Hi Juan, a) Checkout the develop branch and test it again:
Did you consider doing anything with the Lattice 48 pin QFN iCE5x series ? |
Thanks for the tip!
I am not sure if that series are supported by the opensource icestorm toolschain. If not, they will be in the future, I am sure |
Hi Juan,
-jg |
I am just routing it myself for learning Kicad. Also for learning all the icezum details. The board was routed by Eladio, a college of mine, in Altium. I want to re-do it again in Kicad, for having in mind all the details. |
HI Juan, I am just routing it myself for learning Kicad.
I'm also new to KiCad, but it is growing on me, |
Hi Juan,
I see a finished? design recently posted - looks nice :)
Some comments/observations
C31 is labeled 4.7nF, but maybe meant 4.7uF ?
When I use MicroUSB, I choose ones with through-holes (eg 4x) on the outer
framework.
Usually those are short, (< 1.6mm), but give both location and more
strength and less likely to 'rip-off' from accidents.
regards

Thanks! It is almost finished
Yeah! It is a bug. I've already fix it in this commit. Thanks a lot for reporting:-)
Thanks for the advice. It makes more sense to use your MicroUSB. We will use them in future versions I will close this issue. If you have further comments or bugs, please do not hesitate on filling a issue Thanks for you help ;-) |
Hi Juan, Using this design as a nice test for kiCad scripts, I notice a couple of a) There are a few thermal vias, that have imported as parts from Altium This gives a skew to the BOM and netlist BOM and Netlist will be cleaner, & need less manual cleanup, if those REMARK Skipped doc1 (has 0 Pads) regards |
Hi Juan, FYI, I just came across this A 3D Gerber viewer, quite impressive. It can also load IPC356, and check a design. So, I feed latest Icezum into this.... just to see what happens... See attached image - it has mostly inferred correct 3D info :) The Via** parts have confused it a little, as it thinks they are all one Moving those thermal vias into footprints, (or even just as manual Vias) as It renders non-trace holes differently from trace-holes for some strange It renders U6 with a strange angle spin, not sure why ? Hmm, looking closely, U6 is unusual, and it has guessed a ~SO16N (almost, Attached is the Screen grab, and the IPC error report. I see some Gerbers from your github have teardrops - were those Kicad There is this ICP356 Netlis v.s. PCB copper test 27 of No-copper testpoint errors 0 of Short-Circuit errors 64 of Broken Net error(s) |
Hi,
Nice project. Checking the nice KiCad ported files you have I see some small issues
a) SCH files open, but minus some symbols.
I need to go Preferences.Component Libraries, and add your local library to the list.
Then, all symbols render OK
b) icezum.KiCad_pcb seems load parts and outline correctly, but looks to be 100% unrouted ? (no traces?)
Or, is it intentional this is unrouted ?
