Electronics design and software are related, but depart on relevant aspects. Say for example fpga toolchains, you typically need to perform verification, testing, synthesis and implementation. Following the device at hand, we have the tools in Guix. More in particular, we already have the whole toolchain if we consider GateMate FPGAs [1], which accept a fully free toolchain. Delivering a bundle of integrated tooling might be a good entrance point for newcomers. Then, you can also think of specific development environments [2], etc. C.
