Hi Ed, In general, current gEDA architecturally supports any kinds of BUS implementation. Specifically, current Gschem/Gnetlist Verilog netlister supports simple BUS, e.g., data_bus[31:0], etc., including true hierarchy. An example to demonstrate gEDA hiearchical Verilog design with bus has been

Hi I'm trying to get my head around x,y co-ordinates for foot prints. Looking at some examples I'm confused with polarity for the x, y co-ordinates used in the Element line. If the top LH corner is 0,0 I can understand that the x co-ordinates will be negative, but I cant see the logic with the y
