GNU/Linux下如何设计PCB印刷电路板

gplEDA

This website contains links to Electronic Design Automation(EDA) tools that are released under the GPL(either v2 or v3).

Here is a list of active projects (as of Feb 20 2012):

Fritzing

Fritzing description (from their webpage):

Fritzing is essentially an Electronic Design Automation software with alow entry barrier, suited for the needs of designers and artists. Ituses the metaphor of the breadboard, so that it is easy to transferyour hardware sketch to the software. From there it is possible tocreate PCB layouts for turning it into a robust PCB yourself or by helpof a manufacturer.

gEDA Project

gEDA Project description (from their webpage):

The gEDA project has produced and continues working on a full GPL'd suite andtoolkit of Electronic Design Automationtools.These tools are used for electrical circuit design, schematic capture,simulation, prototyping, and production. Currently, the gEDA projectoffers a mature suite of free softwareapplications for electronics design, including schematic capture,attribute management, bill of materials (BOM) generation, netlistinginto over 20 netlist formats, analog and digital simulation, and printedcircuit board (PCB) layout.

The gEDA project was started because of the lack of freeEDA tools forPOSIXsystems with the primary purpose of advancing the state of freehardware or opensource hardware. The suite is mainly being developed on the GNU/Linuxplatform with some development effort going into making sure the tools run onother platforms as well.

gEDA was started by Ales Hvezda (back in 1997) and its homepageused to be hosted here for some
