Generate BOM rereqs

To generate a BOM, KiBoM is used.

Download KiBoM to this directory.

git clone https://github.com/SchrodingersGat/KiBoM

You then need to open the BOM plugin manager from the ("solo-A.sch") schematic in KiCad. Plug this command in in the command field and run it. Make sure to edit the path so that it's valid.

python "/Users/conor/Documents/GitHub/solo-hw/kicad/bom/KiBoM/KiBOM_CLI.py" "%I" "%O"

This generates an intermediate file that can then be used for generating the final BOMs. If you change the schematic, you will need to run this again.

Generate the BOM for either USB-C or USB-A.

USB-C:

python3 KiBoM/KiBOM_CLI.py --cfg usbc.ini ../solo-A.xml C-BOM.csv

USB-A:

python3 KiBoM/KiBOM_CLI.py --cfg usba.ini ../solo-A.xml A-BOM.csv
