Software Utilities

Below you will find tools already ported to FreeBSD. Please note that new Open-Source tool are more than welcome! You can port them and let us know so we can update the list :-)

This list contains popular EDA utilities that can be used to design schematics and PCB of your projects:

  • KiCAD is an open source (GPL) software for the creation of electronic schematic diagrams and printed circuit board artwork.

This list contains popular CAD utilities that can be used to design mechanical components of your projects:

  • FreeCAD is a general purpose parametric 3D modeler. FreeCAD is aimed directly at mechanical engineering and product design but also fits in a wider range of uses around engineering, such as architecture or other engineering specialties.
  • CURA and CURA Engine is a world class slicer that converts STL designs into GCODE used by the 3D printers. CURA is a GUI for Engine that can be also used in standalone shell batch mode.

This list contains popular utilities that can be used to perform simulation of your projects:

  • NGSpice is a mixed-level/mixed-signal circuit simulator. Its code is based on three open source software packages: Spice3f5, Cider1b1 and Xspice. It is the open source successor of these venerable packages.
  • KiCAD not only allows you to create schematics and pcb but also perform simple simulations using ngspice backend.
