Electronic design suite

[suppamax]

Hi to all Ubuntu users!

I'd like to install some utilities that let me develop electronic systems under Ubuntu.

What I need is:

- VHDL simulator and synthesizer
- Verilog simulatorand synthesizer
- IC layout editor
- Circuit editor and simulator
- PCB editor


What do you suggest?


Thanks,




Max

You could have a look at the geda project

For schematics/layout, you could have a look at Eagle

Oregano - is a GNOME application for schematic capture and printing of electronic circuits. It can simulate the circuits using Gnucap, ng-spice or Berkeley spice.

Qucs - is an integrated circuit simulator which means you are able to setup a circuit with a graphical user interface (GUI) and simulate the large-signal, small-signal and noise behaviour of the circuit. After that simulation has finished you can view the simulation results on a presentation page or window.

TkGate - is a event driven digital circuit simulator with a Tcl/Tk-based graphical editor. TkGate supports a wide range of primitive circuit elements as well as user-defined modules for hierarchical design.

KSimus - is an application for simulating networks with boolean and floating point data type. Some more data types are planned. Currently there exists only a few components, but because of the modular character of KSimus extensions are easy to develop.

KLogic - is an application for building and simulating digital circuits easily.
It provides an easy way to build circuits containing standard components like AND, OR, XOR and flipflops like RS and JK. To build more complex and reusable circuits, you can create sub-circuits.
