gEDA
The gEDA project has produced and continues with the development of a
comprehensive open source suite and toolkit of Electronic Design Automation
tools.
These tools are used for electrical circuit design, schematic capture,
simulation, prototyping, and production. Currently, the gEDA project
offers a mature suite of free software applications for electronics design,
including schematic capture, attribute management, bill of materials (BOM)
generation, netlisting into over 20 netlist formats, analog and digital
simulation, and printed circuit board (PCB) layout.
gEDA is mostly oriented towards printed circuit board design
(as opposed to integrated circuit design).

Features include:
- gschem - draw electronic schematics, which describe the
logical
structure of an circuit. Schematics are made up of symbols, which
represent the various components in the circuit, and are obtained
either from a standard library or created by the user. The connections
between components are represented by nets (wires)
- Editing symbols for use in schematics
- Draw block diagrams of electronics designs
- gattrib - a spreadsheet-like program for bulk editing of
component attributes
- libgeda - a library of functions for manipulating gEDA
schematics and symbols
- gnetlist - a highly flexible, hierarchy-aware utility which
parses schematics
to generate a number of outputs, including netlists for a wide
variety of PCB layout tools. It can also generate bills of
materials and DRC reports for your schematics
- gsch2pcb - a command-line utility for streamlining the
workflow where 'PCB' and `gschem' are used together
- gsymcheck - a utility for checking for common
errors in schematic symbol files
