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

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

so where is the downloads link for 7 x64 or 10

The Win 7 x86/32-bit binary is the one for all the above. Since it's a small app and CPU demands/complexity isn't brutal there's no compelling reason to try multi builds for Windows.

Getting close to my next release. Just waiting on a bit of information from piernov.

Attached is the light and dark theme of the same screen. Colours are all adjustable, the themes are just 'base defaults'.

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

RELEASE 7 is now available.
https://github.com/inflex/OpenBoardView/releases/tag/R7

Win / linux (deb) / OSX binaries available, and of course the source.

This is a fairly decent feature upgrade from R6.

• Pin/net searching and highlighting has been cleaned up
• Light and Dark themes improved, less 'busy'
• Info-Panel now available on right-side of screen, adjustable width by mouse click-drag ( toggle with 'i' key)
• Parts and pin-networks selectable on info-panel making for easier tracing of faults
• Selected parts/pins are now auto-zoomed to facilitate in easier viewing
• Selected pin, and others on network are now "oversized" when zoomed out to help locate them on the board
• Improved FZ handling, including non-encrypted, and comma-decimal variants
• FZ file extra data for parts now displayed
• Small performance improvements
• Search facility now offers substring, prefix, and whole-string matching
• Search quicklists changed from buttons to actual lists

RECOMMENDED: Remove the existing obv.conf file and let the new version generate a fresh one. If you have a FZ key already installed then copy that before removing the file.

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

Already have made some minor tweaks from R7, made it so that the part-zoom ratio (usually 2.5x but it's a user-adjustable parameter) applies to all search result type zoom operations (netwebs, part/net searches, info panel selections).

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

Release 7.1 has been pushed out. It's only two minor changes but they do help with general consistency in terms of the user-interface.

Getting compile error on Linux Mint 17.2 so, I guess I have to upgrade to 18 for the newer gcc. Ill do that tonight probably

GCC version needs to be >= 4.9

Im excited to try this out thank you.

[piernov]

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

Yep, we are using various C++11 features which requires at least GCC 4.9 (though it was mostly developed using the 5.x branch). Ubuntu 14.04 has GCC 4.8 and so does Linux Mint 17. You could add the ubuntu-toolchain-r/test PPA but I can't guarantee that it will work.

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

bump.

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

The Openflex fork has now been merged back in to OpenBoardView, and we've released R7.3 ( and now also have rpm packages )

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

Hi guys,

I found a key in one paste bin that starts with 0x25d8d248 and ends with 0xdacf7668. But in the obv.conf file they ask for a 44 sets of 32bits but my key only have 36 sets, is this the reason why i can't open the files. I'am using the lastest release with w7x64.
Thank you..

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

What a beauty, wonderful software you created..can say goodbye to T-link eventually, thank you so much and congratulations.
Running it on a MBP a1297, os 10.11.6, seems to be running smooth and nicely. If I get across any misbehaviour or bug I'll be happy to report it.
Thanks again !!

Thanks Agrolin, you can post any issues on the github issues page if you like; easiest way then to ensure that all the developers see it.

Right now we're working on adding more file formats, particularly wanting to get the PADs pcb format decoded ( some manner of structured binary blob, probably in-house custom *sigh* ).

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

I am interested to compile the source on Windows, I installed cMake 3.7.1 and I set MinGW as compiler but probably I have to set a toolchain file ...
I downloaded this source: OpenBoardView-R7.3.zip

[piernov]

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

Looks like CMake cannot find the MinGW toolchain. Anyway, compiling under Windows isn't really supported anymore, you can still try using the Visual Studio solution (under src/vcpp) though.
Windows binary is built automatically under Linux using the cross-compiling MinGW-W64 toolchain. I'm not sure if it can be installed under Windows, but if it is you can try to use it and set the CMake toolchain file to Toolchain-mingw64.cmake.

Otherwise, you can grab them openboardview.org instead of trying to build it on your own.
