## Summary
| sch-rnd
| is a simple, modular, scriptable schematics editor. can be used as a stand-alone schematics capture tool but also fits nicely in the Ringdove EDA suite is workflow-agnostic is set up in a similar manner as pcb-rnd is easy and fast to compile, edit and contribute to supports many file formats
| cschem
| is the name of the data model that sch-rnd implements. cschem specification is kept generic so that other, independent implementations could be based on it.

Key features | schematics capture for multisheet designs scriptable in 10+ different scripting languages parametric symbols generation hierarchic design (since 1.0.5) modular code with a flexible plugin system fits well in a UNIXy workflow supports CLI and server applications active development, frequent releases friendly and efficient developer and user community multiple workflows from the same sheet without modification (e.g. PCB and spice) circuit simulation: low level (raw SPICE); high level (integrated GUI with plots, based on ngspice) predictable development cycles also loads gEDA/gschem, lepton-eda, tinyCAD, altium, OrCAD, EasyEDA files
Supported platforms |
Linux desktop (various distributions, from source) official packages in Debian, Ubuntu, Mageia, PureOS, Raspbian (full list) OpenBSD (Likely: any BSD not older than 25 years) (Likely: any 90's or newer UNIX system with motif) Screen resolution as small as 800x600 GUI options: motif/lesstif, gtk-gdk, gtk-gl |  |
