What open source architecture design tool do you recommend?

Jairo

Hi, could you recommend me an open source to design my embedded system project architecture?, actually I use diagrams.net to create my block diagrams but maybe there is a more professional tool, thanks

    I use EAGLE for diagrams and pictures other than circuits; it's got a bunch of "features" (explicit object size, polar coordinates, multiple layers, a programming language to create repeated elements) that are quite handy, and not so common in traditional drawing programs.  I imagine KICAD has similar capabilities (and many other CAD programs, too.)

    The "Gnu ID Utilities" (https://www.gnu.org/software/idutils/ ) and ctags/etags are very handy for browsing unfamiliar source code.  The\y provide the sort of "find implementation of function x" capabilities on the command line, so they're agnostic to IDEs that I'm not familiar with, that the code might have used.

    And EMACS, of course!
