I am not sure about the footprint filters and package field (F2). These chips have custom TI packages and I was unable to find .pretty repository corresponding to these packages.

Also as a general question, how should I fill the F2 field and footprint filters when a component has more than one package available?

Best.

Hi Alper! Regarding your question about the footprint fields and filters: If a part has multiple package options, leave the default footprint (F2) blank, and put an appropriate filter for each package.

The S-PVSON-N10 package is awaiting merge here - KiCad/Housings_DFN_QFN.pretty#18

Feel free to submit the S-PWSON-N10 version too :)

So, looking at these symbols, they are pretty good! There is only one suggestion that I can see at this stage:

  • Make F2 field (default footprint) blank

Cheers

Hi Oliver,

Thank you for response.

As a last question, is FPLIST entry starting with '' OK (like S-PVSON-N10) or should I remove the leading '' (convert to S-PVSON-N10*)? Actually I don't know whether it makes a practical difference or not? However as far as I understood, we generally don't use leading '*', for example: #598 (comment)

Best.

It appears that you don't need to use leading OR trailing asterisks/wildcards for the footprint filters. If you run CvPcb and filter the footprints with the search bar at the top, including * at the start or the end of the search term does nothing.

I think there has been some confusion on this issue for the different PRs! You could just use the filters as following:

S-PVSON-N10

The wildcards are useful but not necessarily in this case.

    * Make F2 field blank. Ref: #653 (comment)
    * Modify footprint filters. Ref: #653 (comment)
