Linux has long been the backbone of open innovation in computing, yet access to fully open, Linux-native Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workflows remains limited due to proprietary tools, restrictive licenses, and platform lock-in. eSim(https://esim.fossee.in) is an open-source EDA platform developed under the FOSSEE (Free/Libre and Open Source Software for Education) project at IIT Bombay, designed to bring complete circuit design and simulation workflows to the Linux ecosystem.
This talk presents eSim as a Linux-first, fully open-source EDA solution that integrates schematic capture, SPICE-based simulation, PCB design workflows, and support for open PDKs using established open-source tools and standards. Built to run natively on Linux distributions, eSim enables students, educators, and researchers to design and simulate electronic circuits without relying on proprietary software, aligning closely with Linux principles of transparency, and freedom.
The session will showcase real-world adoption of eSim across academic institutions and future directions toward scalable, reproducible, and community-driven open hardware design.
