Quick start¶

This scenario will use a generated Blender model of the Jetson Orin Baseboard as an example. This guide uses following tool pipeline to prepare the base PCB model:

• gerber2blend

• picknblend

Clone the board¶

git clone https://github.com/antmicro/jetson-orin-baseboard.git

Generate PCB Blender model¶

Use the gerber2blend tool to generate a Blender model of the PCB. Refer to gerber2blend’s Quick start guide for detailed instructions.

Then use the picknblend tool to populate the PCB model with components. Refer to picknblend’s Quick start guide for detailed instructions.

Prepare renders of the PCB¶

In order to prepare renders of the PCB, run:

pcbooth

To preview the generated .blend file with added camera and environment, open it with an instance of Blender in version >=4.1.

Prepare any renders¶

PCBooth can render any model in .blend format if called with path to the model:

pcbooth -b path/to/model.blend
