1 Preparations
- Install Eagle Freeware edition 7.0.0 (dont use the latest version): http://www.cadsoftusa.com/download-eagle/
- Download *.brd and *.sch of a project PCB
- Open the *.brd or *.sch file in Eagle and go to File -> Export -> Partlist
- Save the partlist as text file
2 Verification
2.1 Footprint validation
- Google for the datasheet of the component with entire partnumber
- Most of the time either the manufacturers website or the distributors (farnell, RS, digikey, mouser) will offer them for download.
- In Eagle go to File -> Export -> Libraries and choose "Export original libraries"
- for parts that have no value defined check the recommendations and research matching parts
- search for best price offer for this or alternative equivalent parts
