Hello,

I'm trying to start on the multi sheet and hierarchical features of gEDA. Here's what I have done so far.

1. Created a symbol with one input and one output pin. Has a refdes, source, graphical and device attribute. Source points to the name of schematic.

Shouldn't be graphical.

2. Created a schematic with the same name as sym. Has one input (in-1.sym) pin and one output pin (out-1.sym).

Good.

3. the names of input pins in both sym and sch are same and this is same with the output pin.

To be clear: refdes of io symbol in source schematic should match pinlabel in symbol.

4. Checked the symbol with gsymcheck. It warns about numslots and source not being there. Warning: Found unknown source= attribute: [source=oc_driver.sch]

Did I miss anything?

Need a line like:

(source-library ".")

in your gafrc file.


After I insert the symbol into a top level schematic, I can't go down schematic.

When I switch to PCB, and import schematic, I see the footprints of components used in the sub-schematic.

What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks.
