Development is not very active, and documentation is poor. It has a very nice UI, unfortunately only for Linux. ![]() It does not support PCB design, but features microcontroller simulation. Platforms: Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, License: GPLĪnother circuit design tool, specifically targeted at microcontroller circuits. However, it does not seem to be widely used and is hardly documented. The website looks out-dated, but the information is actually up-to-date and some of the tools are under active development. OCD is another suite of loosely connected EDA tools. Language: C++ GUI: wxWidgets Platforms: Linux, Mac OS X, Windows License: GPL It is actively developed, has a well-designed code base. The UI is very nice, and also has 3D view of the PCB. It's much younger that gEDA, but nevertheless seems to cover the whole tool chain. KiCad is also a suite of tools, but more tightly integrated. Interesting: gspiceui is an alternative UI for the SPICE package - maybe we can follow its model. We need to find out how we could program our own GUI on top of their EDA libraries since we do not want to go with their GTK/C. Language: C GUI: GTK+ Platforms: Linux, Mac OS X License: GPL Very good and up-to-date documentation and active community. The GUI however is quite cumbersome and outdated. It has quite a long history and is extensively developed. ![]() ![]() GEDA is a suite of several tools (some of them independent) around EDA tasks. These services are often offered as separate modules wrapped in a software suite. The main services that EDA packages offer are schematic capturing, PCB layouting (sometimes with auto-routing), preparation for manufacturing and simulation. We are looking into these to see whether we can build our efforts on top of them, and whether they can provide us with inspiration on how to do things. More or less comprehensive listings can be found at Wikipedia, There is an enormous number of software packages out there for doing
