Summary coralEDA is an umbrella project for a collection of free/open source EDA related software Focus Electronic Design Automation: computer aided electronic design related utilities. Mission Instead of providing a monolithic EDA software suite, coralEDA is a collection of independent, small projects that combine into an ecosystem of tools (following the best UNIX traditions on modularization and simplicity). Decentralized coralEDA has no code of its own, merely coordinates existing, actively developed projects. Member projects are developed independently, each having their own developer and leadership, working according to their own technological/methodological choices Interoperability coralEDA makes effort to get member software projects to work well together Two-tier construction In the tight ring of coralEDA, there are projects who invest effort and time to form a tightly coupled ecosystem of EDA-related software. This effort is actively coordinated by the coralEDA team. There are fewer projects in the tight ring, but a lot of connections and practical work-flows between these projects. In the loose ring of coralEDA, there are projects that happen to work well together with those projects in the tight ring. This loose coupling allows less connected projects to join. Comments, feedback, suggestions live chat with the developers or mail to: coraleda (at) igor2.repo.hu Support and hosting CoralEDA is trying to support member projects by coordinating the interoperability effort, helping users to find the best tool for their needs among the projects, and optionally providing free of charge hosting (VCS, IRC, mailing list, web, web services) for member projects.
