资 源 简 介
The gEDA Project is an open-source collaborative involved in creating CAD
tools running on Linux (and other unix-like variants) useful for electronic design.
Such tools are often called "EDA" tools, an acronym for "Electronic Design
Automation". Since our tools are released under the GPL, we are the gEDA
Project -- short for "Gpl"ed EDA" Project.
The gEDA project is almost nine years old although some components of it date back to 1990. To date, the project has created a set of programs which together provide an end-to-end design flow for printed circuit board (PCB) design. Rather than presenting the user a single, monolithic application for design, we have roughly ten major applications and several dozen minor utilities which are used in a design flow allowing an engineer to take a circuit design from concept, to schematic, to simulation, layout, and to manufacturable PCBs. Therefore, we sometimes refer to our
programs as "the gEDA Suite", since our project is an allian
