gEDA stands for GNU Electronic Design Automation (EDA). It is a
|
|
collection of tools for doing schematic capture, circuit simulation,
|
|
printed circuit board layout and any other tasks involving electronic
|
|
circuits. Basically all the tools which are part of gEDA are used to
|
|
automate the design process of electronic circuits. Both analog
|
|
and digital designers use EDA tools to simplify the design process.
|
|
What makes gEDA unique when compared to commercial tools is that
|
|
all the of the source and file specifications are placed under the
|
|
GNU Public License (GPL) version 2.0. These leads to a open (as
|
|
in the no secrets and no surprises type of "open"), flexible,
|
|
extensible, and readily available toolset for doing EDA.
