3 .SH NAME
4 ueda-getfps \- fetch all footprints for the board
5 .SH SYNOPSIS
6 .B ueda-getfps
7 [
8 .B \-c
9 ] [
10 .B \-h
11 ]
12 .B |
13 .B ueda-runm4
14 .SH DESCRIPTION
15 .PP
16 .I Ueda-getfps
17 reads the MCL, extracts all
18 .B footprint=
19 attributes and generates a set of
20 .IR m4 (1)
21 macro calls which then needs to be run through
22 .IR ueda-runm4 (1).
23 The complete
24 .B
25 ueda-getfps | ueda-runm4
26 pipeline produces the complete set of PCB elements (footprints) for the board.
27 .PP
28 The
29 .B \-c
30 option instructs
31 .I ueda-getfps
32 to check the design for the completeness of the pre-layout information.
33 Normally components in the MCL which do not have a
34 .B footprint=
35 attribute or have it set to
36 .B TBD
37 are ignored, but the
38 .B \-c
39 option causes a warning message to be issued instead.
40 .PP
41 The
42 .B \-h
43 option causes
44 a blank PCB template to be prepended as a header before the PCB elements
45 so that the resulting pipeline output is a complete and valid PCB layout file.

52 .SH DIAGNOSTICS
53 /usr/local/eda/ifctf-part-lib/m4-fp: bad directory
54 .in +8
55 The required IFCTF part library is not installed correctly.
56 .in -8
57 /usr/local/eda/file-element-dirs: No such file or directory
58 .in +8
59 If a requested footprint is not found in the M4 library, the M4 code
60 automatically invokes
61 .IR ueda-instfileelem (1)
62 to look for it in the file element directories.
63 If the latter are not installed, you see this rather cryptic error message.
64 .in -8
65 No footprint named \fIxxx\fP
66 .in +8
67 The requested footprint could not be found, neither in M4 nor in the file
68 element libraries.
69 .in -8
70 \fIXX\fP has no footprint
71 .br
72 \fIXX\fP: footprint=TBD
73 .in +8
74 These diagnostics are produced with the
75 .B \-c
76 option and should be self-explanatory.

78 .SH BUGS
79 Exposing the
80 .IR ueda-getfps | ueda-runm4
81 pipeline to the user is ugly.
