Hi, the big designs are mostly mainboards with on board CPU for networking and communications. sometimes there are FPGAs there as well. We use a software called Zuken for that.
I like the Symbols and net idea as well I will keep it in mind. Cheers, Basti 2017-09-07 11:59 GMT+02:00 Simon Küppers <simon.kuepp...@rub.de>: > I like the idea that you have posed.
