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. |
