Dependencies

Environment


Kicad
pcbnew python package
build scripts
eeshow (optional)


Environment is provided through a docker image akshmakov/pcb-cicd , <![CDATA[]]>https://github.com/akshmakov/pcb-cicd-docker<![CDATA[]]>

This docker package is based on the excelent kicad-docker image from Jan Szuimec. <![CDATA[]]>jszuimec/kicad-docker<![CDATA[]]>

Currently it is based on the <![CDATA[]]>fork of the image<![CDATA[]]>  to reorganize slightly for this ci_cd template. All the build scripts are provided therein

Additionally. eeshow Hacked support is provided by the extension image <![CDATA[]]>akshmakov/eeshow<![CDATA[]]>. In order to reduce image size this is copied using docker multi stage build  by the pcb-cicd image.
