I-KiCad, isoftware ye-electronic design automation ijoyine iLinux Foundation

Isimemezelo seLinux Foundation senza poco ukufakwa kwelungu elisha, okuyiKiCad, isoftware yomthombo wamahhala nevulekile. Lolu hlelo lusiza ukwakhiwa kwesikimu samasekethe kagesi nokuguqulwa kwayo kube yimiklamo yesifunda ephrintiwe. Njengengxenye yeLinux Foundation, iKiCad izokwandisa umphakathi wayo futhi izoqinisekisa ukusimama kwayo kwesikhathi eside.

I-KiCad yasungulwa nguJean-Pierre Charras futhi yasungulwa ngo-1992 futhi manje inabaxhasi abazimele, beqembu kanye nabamabhizinisi, okubandakanya iDigi-Key, iSystem76, i-AISLER, ne-NextPCB. Lolu hlelo inikeza umsebenzisi indawo ehlanganisiwe for the Ukuhlelwa kwe-PCB nokubanjwa kohlelo. Amathuluzi amakhulu kuphakethe le-software asetshenziselwa ukudala ama-schematics, imidwebo yesekethe ephrintiwe, ukufaniswa kwe-SPICE, ukuqanjwa kwamagama, imifanekiso, amafayili eGerber, nokubukwa kwe-3D kwe-PCB nezinto zayo.

Le software kufaka phakathi umbukeli we-3D engasetshenziswa ukuhlola ukwakheka komsebenzisi kukhanvasi esebenzisana. Kungazungeziswa futhi kuhanjiswe ukuze kuhlolwe imininingwane okunzima ukuyithola ngokubuka kwe-2D.

I-KiCad iyithuluzi le-multiplatform isebenzisa iWindows, Linux, ne-Apple MacOS. Ikhishwa ngaphansi kwelayisense yomthombo ovulekile we-GNU GPL.

Le phrojekthi ibamba iqhaza kungxenyekazi yeCommunityBridge, Idalwe ekuqaleni kwalonyaka yiLinux Foundation, ukunika amandla abathuthukisi bemithombo evulekile (nabantu nezinhlangano ezibasekelayo) ukukhuthaza ukusimama, ukuphepha, nokwehluka. Ubuchwepheshe bemithombo evulekile.

"I-KiCad iyinhlangano yezicelo ezisetshenziswa onjiniyela abagxile ekwakhiweni kwebhodi yomama," kusho uMichael Dolan, iphini likamongameli wezinhlelo zamasu eLinux Foundation.

“Imahhala, isoftware enikeza onjiniyela inkululeko yokuyisebenzisa noma kuphi nakunoma iyiphi inkundla, ngaphandle kokubophezelwa kubakhi bezakhiwo ezithile. Intuthuko yakho ekwakheni indawo edidiyelwe yokuthwebula okuhleliwe kanye nokuklanywa kwe-PCB ibonakale kakhulu, futhi imodeli yengqalasizinda kanye nemodeli yokubusa izokunikeza ukwesekwa okudingekayo ukuxhasa lokhu. ukukhula kwesikhathi eside «.

“Sibonile ukunyuka okukhulu kohlelo eminyakeni edlule. Abanye abahlinzeki bezokuxhumana babike ngaphezu kwama-15% ama-oda amasha aklanyelwe i-KiCad, "kusho uWayne Stambaugh, oyiMenenja ye-KiCad Project.

“Ukubhekana nalesi silinganiso sokukhula, bekudingeka ukuthi sibuyekeze kabusha imodeli yethu yokuxhasa imali ukuze isisize sihehe abantu abaningi kulo msebenzi. Nge-Linux Foundation, sizoba nokuguquguquka okukhulu kokusebenzisa imali ukuqhubekisela phambili iphrojekthi, kanye nokuchayeka kakhulu kubaxhasi abasha abangaba khona.

Ngokujoyina isisekelo seLinux, iphrojekthi izokwandisa amathubas ukuthi isisekelo esisha singabona abalandeli abasha. Iphrojekthi izosiza abathuthukisi bemithombo evulekile (nabantu kanye nezinkampani / izinhlangano ezibasekelayo) ukuthi basebenze kakhulu.

Uma ufuna ukwazi kabanzi ngalo, ungahlola incwadi yokuqala Kulesi sixhumanisi esilandelayo.

Ungayifaka kanjani i-KiCad ku-Linux?

Ekugcineni, uma unentshisekelo yokwazi lolu hlelo lokusebenza, ungalifaka ekusatshalalisweni kwakho kweLinux ukulandela imiyalo esabelana ngayo ngezansi.

Abathuthukisi bohlelo lokusebenza banikela ngokugcina okusemthethweni, lapho bangasekelwa khona ukwenza ukufakwa ngendlela elula.

Bangangeza indawo yokugcina yohlelo ohlelweni lwabo ngokuvula i-terminal (Bangakwenza ngenhlanganisela yokhiye Ctrl + Alt + T) futhi kuyo bazothayipha kuyo:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-5.1 -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install kicad

Ekugcineni, uma ungafuni ukungeza amakhosombe amaningi kusistimu yakho, ungafaka ngenye indlela. Kuphela kumele ube nokuxhaswa kweFlatpak ingezwe kusistimu yakho (uma ungenayo, ungabheka okulandelayo ukushicilelwa). Ukufaka uhlelo ngale ndlela, kufanele uvule ukuphela futhi kuyo uzothayipha umyalo olandelayo:

flatpak install --from https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.kicad_pcb.KiCad.flatpakref
