The Edacious project is developing an open-source electronic design
automation (EDA) suite for purposes of designing electronic circuits
and systems, simulating and analyzing their behavior, and producing
standard PCB masks / other manufacturing data in an efficient way.
A number of interfaces are provided:
- edacious: A user-friendly graphical interface for circuit
design/simulation and PCB edition (based on the cross-platform
Agar GUI library).
- edacious-tools: Unix-style command-line utilities (in
development).
- libedacious: C/C++ interface.
- p5-Edacious: Perl XS interface (in development).
Edacious's circuit simulator is built from the ground up and is intended to
complement the existing open-source simulators (i.e.,
SPICE,
Qucs).
Component models are organized in extensible libraries, and significant
emphasis is placed on simplicity of code such that models can be quickly
written without extensive knowledge of the internals.
Edacious is written in ANSI C, and is portable to the many platforms
supported by Agar.
The Edacious source code is freely usable and re-usable by everyone under
a revised BSD license.
Because Edacious is free software, you are encouraged to
make it more useful.

This project was mostly unmaintained for the past few years, is now
being undergoing development again thanks to
GSOC.
We hope to make a first numbered, stable release in October 2008.
The current code is available from Subversion.
