1.1 The list of programs in the suite
Lepton EDA suite includes tools as follows:
- lepton-schematic—the main GUI tool for schematic capture
- lepton-attrib—spreadsheet schematic attribute editor
- lepton-netlist—a tool for making netlists from command line
- lepton-cli—a CLI tool providing support of configuration, export, and shell
- lepton-config—configure your tools
- lepton-export—export schematics to images and multipage documents
- lepton-shell—interactive processing of schematic data in Scheme REPL
- lepton-archive—project archivation utility
- lepton-tragesym—symbol generator
- lepton-embed—embed symbols and pictures into schematics
- lepton-pcb_backannotate—backannotate changes from PCB to schematic
- lepton-refdes_renum—renumber reference designators
- lepton-renum—an advanced refdes renumber utility
- lepton-sch2pcb—generate PCB layout from a set of schematics
- lepton-schdiff—view graphical diff of schematics
- lepton-symcheck—check symbol files for errors
- lepton-symfix—fix attributes in symbol files
- lepton-upcfg—upgrade gEDA config files to be usable in Lepton
- lepton-update—update obsolete schematics to the current version
The following contributed tools are not covered in this manual.
Mostly, those are for working with proprietary, often obsolete,
programs, so they are of limited use for most users. Please see
corresponding man pages for more information.
- convert_sym—convert a Viewlogic symbol/schematic to gEDA file format.
- gmk_sym—create rectangular symbols in gEDA file format from a
text file.
- olib—OrCAD(tm) library part to gEDA .sym converter.
- sarlacc_schem—convert OrCAD SDT IV files to gEDA file format.
- smash_megafile—break a Viewlogic megafile into a million little
pieces.
- gnet_hier_verilog.sh—generate a non-flattened hierarchical Verilog
netlist.
- pads_backannotate—process PADS PowerPCB .eco files to backannotate
changes to schematics in gEDA file format.
- sw2asc—converts a SWITCAP2 output file into ASCII data files that
other tools can read. See Switcap backend for more information.
- sch2eaglepos.sh—read a schematic in gEDA file format and
attempt to extract the relative positions of the components in order
to generate corresponding MOVE instructions for Eagle.
- sarlacc_sym—convert OrCAD text libraries to components in gEDA file format.
