[kicad-devel] Re: Netlist format ?
if you do not have a cell attached to the device the net list shows
$noname. Once you attach a cell to the device the $noname will change
and show the cell

Hi Magnus,
The hex numbers like 44FDADE6 are usually a time stamp.
In my netlist I just used 0 for the time stamp.
I think that the $noname is the netlist name.
I have not used named nets but names like GND are common.

Derek
