pcb-rnd is a modular[8] and compact (core under 60ksource lines of code (SLOC),plug-ins at 100k SLOC)[8]electronic design automation (EDA) andcomputer-aided design (CAD) software application used for layout design of electrical circuits.[9] It is used professionally and in universities.[10] Pre-built packages are available on severaloperating systems.[11][12][13][14] The software focuses on multiplefile format support,[15] scripting, multiple font support,[16] a query language andcommand-line interface support forbatch processing and automation.[17][18] The software providesuser interfaces for command line,GTK2+gdk or +gl, GTK4+gl, andMotif[19] supporting multiplegraphical user interfaces (GUIs) with the same thing for every interface.[20]
pcb-rnd was originally developed from a friendly fork of thegeda PCB project. In 2020, pcb-rnd was funded through NGI0 PET as a part of theEuropean Commission'sNext Generation Internet program.[9]
A whole EDA suite, named 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).
