Electric is a free, GPLed (available with source) VLSI Design System that
runs on Unix/Linux/Mac OS and Windoze. It is a complete Electronic Design
Automation (EDA) system that can handle many forms of circuit design,
including:* Custom IC layout
* Schematic Capture (digital and analog)
* Textual Languages such as VHDL and Verilog
* Electro-mechanical hybrid layout
* Programmable logic (FPGAs)
...and much more.

application software in the areas of hardware and software design.
 
 

There was an answer for that

 
In hardware design, I'm looking for  E-CAD for analog and digital circuit design 
 and simulation. Does SPICE
run on Linux?
 

and that

 
 
In software design, I'm looking for development environment for C/C++-based 
 programs.
 

kdevelop/anjuta/(x)emacs/(x)vim/...

There are a LOT of mix and match options in this direction, kdevelop
and anjuta are more MS studio like, the emacs vs. vim is a holy war
option, very different experience, very extendable and depend on a
bunch of external programs to help.

The main debugger is gdb (with lots of gui wrappers available).

compiler is gcc/g++ for just about anything.

Whats your favorite poison in this direction, say your likings and
there is probably something out there for you.

 
 
Recommendations and links to suitable sites would be appreciated.
 
 
 
Cheers

Hi 

That's true, there are a lot of possible
mix-and-match. I am looking for a completed one that
may suit my needs. Basically I have in mind an
integrated environment like those available fr Borland
or MS.

Cheers

Some of us think the MS or Borland approach is undesirable.  
Mix-and-match allows members of a development team to customize 
their personal environment, while maintainting consistency in 
the package being produced.  Mix-and-match also allows the free 
software model to work.

As someone else said, there is kdevelop and anjuta.  Apt-get 
will find all the other stuff they need, and make it look 
integrated.  That's actually what MS and Borland do.  They just 
don't tell you.  They make it difficult for us who don't like 
the GUI.  I think either will meet your needs.  Please don't 
make me use them.

Pick an editor; emacs or vim, or something.  I know emacs has hooks to
compilers, debuggers, and source code control systems; editing modes
specific to various languages and file formats, etc.  I imagine vim
can do as well or better (ymmv).  Build yourself a toolset.  Whatever
you end up with will likely work every bit as well on whichever
language you fall in love with next week.  And by the way, vim/gvim is
not the crufty old boring editor you may remember.  Xemacs, ditto.

You don't have to rely on monolithic, highly specific apps in Linux.
You get to choose your environment; the one that works for you, and
the one that you don't have to learn all over again next week.

I like this one the best so far. I don't know about spice or e-cad, but 
Debian has programmes for these functions.

No need to look for sites, these applications are available on your 
machine all ready.
Just as user, type aptitude at the prompt, and when the ncurses based 
gui comes up, take a look through the sections marked development and 
electronics.
Debian is almost entirely built on C/C++.
Anything you want to download, make a note of, and then download as root.

 
Recommendations and links to suitable sites would be appreciated.

David.
