TITLE: Electronic Design Automation Tools
Free tools for electronic design automation on UNIX platforms are
being produced by the gEDA project. These include:
gerbv - Gerber/Excellon file viewer
gnetlist - Netlist generation (part of gaf)
gnucap - GPLed mixed-mode/mixed-level circuit simulator
gschem - Schematic capture (part of gaf)
gsymcheck - Symbol checker (part of gaf)
GTKWave - Electronic waveform viewer
gwave - Analog waveform viewer
Icarus - Verilog simulation and synthesis tool
ng-spice - An improved SPICE

OpenCores also maintains a list of links to free EDA tools including:
VHDL-to-Verilog Translator
Timing Tool
Printed Circuit Board Design
Block Diagrams to VHDL or Verilog
Savant VHDL simulator
Xilinx Webfitter
Xilinx Webpack
Altera Quartus

Electronic design automation software for the Microsoft Windows
environment include well-known packages such as nVisage, PeakFPGA
and Protel. Multi-dimensional design capture can be performed
using nVisage DXP which supports schematic-driven circuit design
for PCB implementation (formerly Protel), mixed schematic and
VHDL design of FPGAs (formerly PeakFPGA) as well as Spice and
VHDL simulation.
