At the recent Renesas Developers Conference, engineers from around the world had an opportunity to experience "a day in the life" of an EDA engineer using nothing but open source software, including gEDA/PCB. A total of around 60 people attended my two lab sessions and, using a demo board they got in their swag, went through the steps of modifying a schematic, laying out the changes to the pcb, and writing firmware to demo the new circuits.
If you're interested in seeing what they went through, I put the lab online. Of course, without the board you can't do the very last step, but the EDA parts of it can be done with a standard (PCB 2010 release) gEDA/PCB setup: The lab: http://www.delorie.com/electronics/rulz/A31L.html The board: http://www.delorie.com/electronics/rulz/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
