OpenBoardView is a Linux/macOS SDL/ImGui application for viewing .brd board files, intended as a drop-in replacement for Test_Link/Landrex software. It supports annotations, part/pin search, zooming, board flipping, and high-DPI displays.
Use cases
- view .brd board files on linux
- open landrex test link board files
- inspect pcb netlist and pins
- search parts on a circuit board
- replace test link software with open source tool
- view board layout with annotations
When to choose
- you need to view .brd files on Linux or macOS
- you want an open-source alternative to Test_Link/Landrex
- you need part/pin search and annotations on board files
When to avoid
- you need to view other PCB formats like Gerber or KiCad files
- you need board editing rather than viewing
- you need a Windows-native GUI without building from source
