eagle software for raspberry pi 2

keithhampton42@gmail.com

I have a raspberry pi 2, and I need to design a sechmatic with it.  I can only fine 64 bit versions of Eagle to download.  is there a 32 bit that I can download?  if not can you suggest a different free package?  thanks in advance,

  • Hi Keith,

     

    Unfortunately EAGLE is compiled for Intel/AMD 64-bit processors only so as the Raspberry Pi is ARM based it is not possible to run EAGLE. I don't know of other ECAD packages which are available for ARM, the only possibility I can think of is KiCAD which is open source so maybe somebody has built an ARM version but I'm not sure that's too likely to be honest.

     

    Best Regards,

     

    Rachael

    There is a KiCAD package for Raspbian - that's probably your best bet,

    although it may not be very up to date.
