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

    /members/shabaz /members/scottiebabe I think you should both look at Flameshot (Linux) which works like Snagit (MS). see look at the Linux alternative.

    my lord, I used to use two UltraSPARC 2 for my ISP one was the web server the other was the mail server, and I used a SPARC lunchbox to run Tic and Toc for my NTPd server. Take a look at the clock on top…

    Diagrams.net looks pretty reasonable. I just use Libre Office presentation tools. I try to keep the block diagrams simple and high level.

    OK, I have to admit it. I do have one box which is dual boot Linux / Windows 8 the reason is that I do most of my publications first with Open-Libre Writer and then I transfer it to the dual boot box and I run Correl / Ventura Publisher which gives me control that I want where Open-Libre Writer does not.  

    For those of you not familiar with Ventura it was the first of the PC desktop publishers. even before Quarkpress. It has features that make my life easier. This is NOT a WYSIWG editor, well sort of it is. Basically, you first define a page layout in frames, then you pour in your text and it just works. No funny stuff like in a list changing the font to match the first letter.. DUH??
