For electronic CAD, all the leading EDA firms provide almost all their tools for Linux. For ASIC design, in fact, many tools are available only for Unix and Linux, and not for any Windows operating system. Do you think that nVidia and their like design their chips on Windows? Nope. They use Solaris or Linux, and increasingly the latter.

No Email, some other suggestions Posted Oct 2, 2002 23:55 UTC (Wed) by torsten (guest, #4137) [Link] This is great news. Hopefully, when I enter the commercial world, I won't be bound to Windows. As for the electonic CAD stuff, I would be interested in some suggestions, specifically to the need:VHDL entry Currently, this is what Altera Corporation offers to many professors. The Alter in-house developed MaxPLUS program is very simple to use for students entering their first significant digital design class. The UPX student board has a large CPLD and 70k gate FPGA, plus JTAG input for a nice $150 US. Torsten
