AVRDUDE is an open source utility to download/upload/manipulate the ROM and EEPROM contents of AVR microcontrollers using the in-system programming technique (ISP).

From the upstream website:

A Confluence program can generate digital logic for an FPGA or ASIC platform, or C code for hard real-time software.

Confluence combines the component-based methodologies of Verilog and VHDL with the expressiveness of higher order functional programming.

In comparison to Verilog, VHDL, and C, systems designed in Confluence result in 2X to 10X code reduction, making the source easier to manage and reuse. And because Confluence relies on a correct-by-construction compiler, bugs are reduced--some are prevented altogether--thus reducing the overall verification effort.

Covered is a Verilog code coverage utility that reads in a Verilog design and a generated VCD/LXT dumpfile from that design and generates a coverage file that can be merged with other coverage files or used to create a coverage report. Covered also contains the GUI coverage report utility that reads in a coverage file to allow interactive coverage discovery. Areas of coverage measured by Covered are: line, toggle, memory, combinational logic, FSM state/state-transition and assertion coverage.

Electric is a sophisticated electrical CAD system that can handle many forms of circuit design, including custom IC layout (ASICs), schematic drawing, hardware description language specifications, and electro-mechanical hybrid layout.

This is a free VHDL simulator with these features:

• Has a graphical waveform viewer.
• Has a source level debugger.
• Is VHDL-93 compliant.

This is the GNU C compiler, a fairly portable optimizing compiler which supports multiple languages. This package includes support for C.

GPL EDA, an electronics design package.

This is a metapackage which depends on the components required for a typical gEDA installation.

gerbv is a utility for viewing Gerber files. Gerber files are used for communicating printed circuit board (PCB) designs to PCB manufacturers.

(Description from the GHDL home page http://ghdl.free.fr):

GHDL is a VHDL simulator, using the GCC technology.

VHDL is a language standardized by the IEEE, intended for developing electronic systems.

GHDL implements the VHDL language according to the IEEE 1076-1987 or the IEEE 1076-1993 standard. GHDL compiles VHDL files and creates a binary which simulates (or executes) your design.

GHDL does not do synthesis: it cannot translate your design into a netlist.

Those utilities for the Microchip PIC microcontrollers family contain an assembler (compatible with MPASM), a disassembler, and other tools.

Gspiceui is a graphichal user interface for the two freely available electronic circuit engines: GNU-Cap and Ng-Spice Current features are:

• Import gschem schematic files using gentlist.

• Load and parse circuit description (net list) files.

• Provides a GUI interface for GNU-Cap OP, DC, AC and Transient analyses and generates appropriate simulator commands based on user input.

• Provides a GUI interface for Ng-Spice DC, AC and Transient analyses and generates appropriate simulator commands based on user input.

• The raw output may be viewed for any processes initiated by gspiceui.

• Formatting of simulator output so that it may be plotted using gwave

Kicad is a suite of programs for the creation of printed circuit boards. It includes a schematic editor, a PCB layout tool, support tools and a 3D viewer to display a finished & fully populated PCB.

Kicad is made up of 5 main components:

• kicad - project manager
• eeschema - schematic editor
• pcbnew - PCB editor
• gerbview - GERBER viewer
• cvpcb - footprint selector for components

Libraries:

• Both eeschema and pcbnew have library managers and editors for their components and footprints
• You can easily create, edit, delete and exchange library items
• Documentation files can be associated with components, footprints and key words, allowing a fast search by function
• Very large libraries are available for schematic components and footprints
• Most components have corresponding 3D models

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.

The simulation runs permanently by default while building your circuits. For extended testing you can use a single stepping simulation to recognise peaks. You can display the signal flow of the components of a circuit as a graph. Each device of your circuit has a tunable delay. With the burst option the delay of all devices can be disabled.

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.

A Smith chart is a tool used in electrical engineering that shows how the complex impedance of a transmission line varies along its length, and simplifies the design of impedance matching networks to match the line to its load.

linSmith is a Smith Charting program, mainly designed for educational use. As such, there is an emphasis on capabilities that improve the 'showing the effect of'-style of operation.

It's main features are:

• Definition of multiple load impedances (at different frequencies)
• Addition of discrete (L, C, parallel and series LC, and transformer) and line components (open and closed stubs, line segments)
• Connection in series and parallel
• Easy experimentation with values using scrollbars
• A 'virtual' component switches from impedance to admittance to help explaining (or understanding) parallel components
• The chart works in real impedances (not normalized ones)
• Direct view of the result on the screen
• Ability to generate publication quality Postscript output
• A 'log' file with textual results at each intermediate step
• Load and circuit configuration is stored separately, permitting several solutions without re-defining the other

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.

PCB is an interactive printed circuit board editor for the X11 window system. PCB includes a rats nest feature, design rule checking, and can provide industry standard RS-274-X (Gerber), NC drill, and centroid data (X-Y data) output for use in the board fabrication and assembly process. PCB offers high end features such as an autorouter and trace optimizer which can tremendously reduce layout time.

QElectroTech is a Qt4 application written in C++ . This program is helps you to design electric schematics. It includes both a schematic editor and a symbol editor. It uses XML files to store the produced contents.

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.

This software allows to simulate the execution of any program on a Microchip PIC16F84 microcontroller.

TkGate is a digital circuit editor and simulator with a Tcl/Tk based interface. TkGate includes a large number of built-in devices including basic gates, memories, ttys and modules for hierarchical design. The simulator can be controlled either interactively or through a simulation script. Memory contents can be loaded from files, and a microcode/macrocode compiler (gmac) is included to create tkgate memory files from a high-level description. The simulator supports continuous simulation, single step simulation (by clock or epoch) and breakpoints. Save files are in a Verilog-like format.

TkGate also includes a number of tutorial and example circuits which can be loaded through the "Help" menu. The examples range from a simple gate-level 3-bit adder to a 16-bit CPU programmed to play the "Animals" game.

TkGate has a multi-language interface with support for English, Japanese, French and Spanish.

This utility is required to program AVR chips with object code created by the ava assembler/linker, gas, or gcc. It supports in-system programming, Atmel's prototype board/programmer (stk500), and many other extremely low-cost parallel port programmers. It can also be used to program Atmel's AT89S51 and AT89S52.

VBPP is a Verilog preprocessor. It has support for most Verilog preprocessing directives and additional directives such as:

• Statement generator ('generate' command in VHDL).
• Expression evaluation.
• Mathematical functions: log2, ceil, floor, round, abs, etc.
• Conditionals: if, switch, etc.

Verilog is a Hardware Description Language used mostly for digital circuit design and simulation. This program is a simple implementation of a Verilog simulator. VBS tries to implement all of the Verilog behavioral constructs that are synthesizable, but still allow complex test vectors for simulation.

Icarus Verilog is intended to compile all of the Verilog HDL as described in the IEEE-1364 standard. It is not quite there yet. It does currently handle a mix of structural and behavioral constructs.

The compiler can target either simulation, or netlist (EDIF).

This is a dummy transitional package that will ensure a proper upgrade path. This package may be safely removed after upgrading.

xsmc-calc allows you to perform Smith Chart calculations for RF (radio frequency) circuit design.
