I build Electic periodically using command line maven or NetBeans8 or even NetBeans11.
I am interested in using Electirc as one more tool in my current ASIC workflow, which is now based on Tanner for analog and Cadence for digital. When I can use it in my real commercial projects for tech processes I use I'll be able to invest more resource to Electric development. Now I am concentrated mostly on support nonstandard 180nm technologies in Electric (including analog devices: caps,resistors, inductors), I also investigate some bugs till the point in code and post them to Steven. Hoping that more programmers and practiacal ASIC designers join us to move the project forward. Some useful features to add: 1. add extraction/estimation of capacitance of metal wires 2. add ability to work with "serpentine" resistors analogous to how it works with Tools/Inductors/Manage On Sat, Nov 30, 2024 at 6:34 PM Steven Rubin <[email protected]> wrote: > The project is still on the GNU Savannah server, and I do minor fixes now > and then.
