NAME

lepton-symcheck - Lepton EDA Symbol Checker

SYNOPSIS

lepton-symcheck [-h] [-v] [-q] symbol1 [...symbolN]

DESCRIPTION

lepton-symcheck is a symbol checker for Lepton EDA. Here is a list of checks that lepton-symcheck performs:

Checks for graphical attribute (if present does varied tests)

Checks for the device attribute

Checks for various other missing attributes (pinlabel, pintype, pinseq, footprint, refdes)

Checks to make sure that the active pin end is on the 100 unit grid.

Checks the uses of the various attributes (duplicates, incorrect syntax, invalid values, etc...)

Checks for obsolete, old, and forbidden attributes

Checks for any nets or buses within a symbol

Checks for any other connections within a symbol

Checks to make sure the number of pins is the correct number

OPTIONS

lepton-symcheck accepts the following options:
-q
, --quiet

Quiet mode on. This mode turns off all warnings/notes/messages. (optional)

-v, --verbose

Verbose mode 1. This mode will show all error messages (optional)

-vv

Verbose mode 2. This mode will show all error and warning messages (optional)

-vvv

Verbose mode 2. This mode will show all error, warning, and info messages (optional)

-h, --help

Usage summary / lepton-symcheck help

symbol1 [...symbolN]

At least one symbol file must be specified. If multiple symbols are specified then they are sequentially read in and checked. It is important that the schematic(s) follow all the options (i.e. last).

EXAMPLES

Here are some examples on how to run lepton-symcheck:

To get usage information just run:

lepton-symcheck

To actually check a symbol with just error counts, run:

lepton-symcheck symbolfilename.sym

To get the actuall error messages, run:

lepton-symcheck -v symbolfilename.sym

To see all the error messages and warnings, run:

lepton-symcheck -vv symbolfilename.sym

To see all the error messages, warnings, and parse info, run:

lepton-symcheck -vvv symbolfilename.sym

ENVIRONMENT

lepton-symcheck respects the following environment variable:
GEDADATA

specifies where the various required scheme and rc files are located (the default is ${prefix}/share/lepton-eda). This environment variable does not need to be set by the end user unless they are moving the executables to a new install ${prefix}.
