EAGLE → KiCad migration audit
See the defined differences—and what was not checked.
BoardPort Audit is a read-only checker that compares the EAGLE source with the imported KiCad project before you continue editing. It lists what matches, what differs, and what software cannot judge.
On-device processingRead-only analysisNo calls or custom quote
Renderer-derived sample output
Inspect the actual report shape before using a design.
Release candidate 0.1.0-rc.1 generated the report bodies from BoardPort-authored synthetic inputs. Each linked public wrapper identifies that boundary. They prove output shape and repeatability—not accuracy on another board.

Footprint reference set
The synthetic KiCad destination contains an additional U2 reference.
Board outline and routing layers
The normalized synthetic board outline differs between the two files.
Use the standard tools too
A complement, not a replacement.
BoardPort Audit is not an importer or a design review. Its job is narrower: compare defined native-design facts across two formats and preserve the unanswered areas.
KiCad import report + ERC / DRC
GOOD FOR
Use them first. KiCad 10 can emit an import report and check the imported project against KiCad rules.
THE REMAINING QUESTION
They do not independently compare the saved EAGLE source with the resulting KiCad board under BoardPort’s three fixed rules.
Gerber comparison
GOOD FOR
Useful for comparing rendered manufacturing output.
THE REMAINING QUESTION
It does not independently compare the source pad-to-net map, footprint references, or normalized outline.
Human design review
GOOD FOR
Can judge circuit intent, safety, DFM, and context.
THE REMAINING QUESTION
Requires expert time, file sharing, scheduling, and an individual quote.
Minimum sellable product
A fixed comparison contract.
Locked first target: EAGLE 9.6.2 XML .brd, paired with KiCad 10.0 .kicad_pcb (validated with 10.0.6). Schematic files and other versions are outside the first release and must be reported as unsupported, never silently accepted.

It does not mean the whole migration passed.
A defined value, identifier, or connection differs. It is a review target, not an automatic defect verdict.
Unsupported, ambiguous, missing, or unparsed. It is never included in a pass rate and never silently treated as safe.
Scope rationale: the official KiCad 10 CLI documentation documents JSON and text import reports. The KiCad EAGLE-format documentation lists unmapped layers and unsupported or ignored source concepts. The KiCad 10.0.6 release notes also include multiple EAGLE-import fixes. These sources establish reviewable differences—not demand, accuracy, or product completion.
Deliberately limited
The report narrows review. You keep the judgment.
Not included in the first product
- Project conversion, repair, or Gerber generation
- Circuit correctness or electrical safety review
- Manufacturing, regulatory, EMC, or reliability approval
- A replacement for KiCad ERC/DRC or Gerber comparison
- Pre-v6 binary EAGLE files or every EAGLE/KiCad version
- Files over 16 MiB each, pairs over 32 MiB, or runs over 30 seconds
- Environments other than macOS 26.6.2 with Google Chrome 152.0.7977.66
- Calls, custom engineering, or individual migration work
Straight answers
Before anyone pays.
Payment will not be used to decide whether the analyzer gets built. Product accuracy, the local-processing boundary, and delivery must be verified before the paid market test begins.
Does PASS mean the migrated board is safe to manufacture?
No. PASS means only that a displayed check matched under its stated rule and tolerance. It is not an electrical, safety, DRC/ERC, Gerber, or manufacturing certification.
Will the first product convert or repair my project?
No. The planned beta is read-only. You import with KiCad, then compare the source and destination. It will not edit either project.
Why show NOT CHECKED?
EAGLE and KiCad do not express every concept one-to-one. Unsupported, ambiguous, missing, or unparsed areas must stay visible instead of being counted as a pass.
Should I buy this for a simple two-layer board?
Probably not if KiCad import, visual review, ERC/DRC, and Gerber comparison already give you enough confidence. The first product targets maintained designs, custom libraries, and projects where review traceability matters.
Will I upload design files to use the product?
No. The target product is a downloaded offline package. Supported design files must be processed on the purchaser’s device without sending their contents to BoardPort.
