Re: Openflex Boardview: New boardview software (linux, windows and OSX)

ASC is not supported at the moment?

ASC is not supported at the moment?

Is that the format with multiple files (ie, pins.asc, outline.asc etc ) ?

yes, that's the one.

Thanks. There's a fellow piernov who will probably be working on that over the next couple of days. The separate file format and one of the existing brd formats are quite similar, just the one we've already done everything is consolidated in to a single file (rather than split in to separate ones).

Can you give us a dump/error? What Windows OS?

Also, do you have the FZ key installed so you can decode the fz files?

Perhaps come over to the Github repo and make an issue-ticket?

hey back .

let me chek hold on

so OS is windos 10
what do you mean about FZ key installed ( i usually open them on "PCB Repair Tool" and no issues and nothing needed .
sorry im not software expert here , my thing is the electronics :P so feel free to tell me what do i need

cheers

here are some fotos of the runtime errors

[inflex]

Re: Openflex Boardview: New boardview software (linux, windows and OSX)

Yep, they're all relating to the lack of the FZ Key sadly.

Because it's Open source software, we cannot legally supply it with the required FZ decoding key (it's available, many people have it, but we cannot provide it).

One of those annoying issues

I might talk with piernov and see what we can do about making those "Assert" errors a little more human readable, thanks.

In this case, it was piernov's work that got the multifile-asc format to work

thank you for both of you

If anyone reading this is also having troubles with their key disappearing, edit the obv.conf file, remove all dud/duplicate lines starting with FZKey = , so that you have only a single one left with the right key in it.

After that single entry, place at the bottom of a file, some random comment line, such as;

# end of configuration

FZKey = 0x25d8d248 0xe1502405 0x56b5d486 ... 0x0681955f ( and a lot more after that )
# end of configuration file
