mcu KiCad files are obsolete

[bvernoux]

https://github.com/eez-open/modular-psu/tree/master/mcu/KiCad are obsolete they use EEZ DIB MCU r1B2 when official latest version (Eagle files) is EEZ DIB MCU r1B6

It will be great to add details in the mcu/README.md that official design are done on Eagle to avoid confusion and mistake if someone want to use/work with latest validated design files.

A must for a fully open source hardware (especially certified oshwa https://certification.oshwa.org/hr000002.html) will be to have all latest design files converted (or even natively done on KiCad maybe for next iterations to completely avoid Eagle ...) to free/open source software and here especially the amazing KiCad

Maybe we can try to convert latest version with https://github.com/lachlanA/eagle-to-kicad
I am also not Eagle fan!

@bvernoux for test I have converted bp3c board so you can check, and tell if you have any suggestions - I will convert rest of them on my repository ...

Seams that new kicad knows to do conversion without scripts, so I will try that way

Yes it is advised to do it directly with latest KiCad 5.1.5 (but anyway it often requires some manual fixes)
