Free Hardware / Open Hardware. But that in no way makes it free. There is no free software for programming those CPLDs. Furthermore, it has to be hosted on Windows. Sigh…. Red Hat Fedora Electronic Lab (FEL). Schematic and PCB layout software. Hosted on GNU/Linux is our current recommendation. For simple projects, two free alternatives exist: gEDA. GNOME based, GPL) and KiCad. PAL, CPLD, FPGA Development Tools. Not much to recommend here as most tools are still proprietary. For now it may be necessar...
