Overview

CadSoft EAGLE design software is an affordable, easy to use yet powerful tool for designing printed circuit boards. The name EAGLE is an acronym which stands for Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor. This award winning software offers user friendly powerful and affordable solutions for PCB design, including Schematic Capture, Board Layout and Autorouter.

It runs on Linux, Mac and Windows and allows feature enhancement, such as simulation, data import and export and self defined commands, through User Language Programs (ULP’s) which are integrated into the tool. EAGLE offers DesignLink, an automated connection to the database from Premier Farnell to search and find parts from within the EAGLE design environment without ever having to leave it.
