gEDA (GPL'ed Electronic Design) In EE Times

Posted by timothy on from the beyond-world-domination dept.

Stuart Brorson writes "At long last, today's EE Times published an article about the gEDA project. The gEDA project has developed a mature, GPL'd, Linux-based suite of tools useful for electronic design. Using the gEDA tools, you can take a circuit design from schematic capture, through simulation, to PC board layout and fab. Some example PCBs done using gEDA include the Darrell Harmon's single board computer, and the 'free hardware' Ronja Project. Happily, the advantages of open-source for electronics design were well presented in the article. It's good to see that gEDA is getting some well-deserved press for the excellent work which has been going on from over six years now!"

    never bitch about GPL software. The source is there, so either submit some patches or shut the fuck up. That's the GPL way.

      When I call you a stupid fuck I'm only trying to help, because if more people called you a stupid fuck maybe you'd sort the problem out.

      If no one has ever called you a stupid fuck then it's about time, stupid fuck.

      Additional reviews of Mod Parent Up AC's to follow.

    Hey cool - YOU provide a windows download please. I'm not interested in installing Linux just to try your software. My compiler is too busy with actual work to be used to dick around with building it myself.

    Whoa!! You're telling me that are people out there still using Windows?

    How utterly 1990s.

    Get with the program, man, or the program's gonna pass you by.

    You're out of your mind. Jump through hoops? What hoops?

    apt-get install geda

    How the fuck hard is that, dipshit? You must be some kinda retarded fool.
