Fedora Electronic Lab Live CD is an open source Linux operating system targeted mainly towards the Micro-Nano Electronic Engineering field. It is based on the latest Fedora technologies and offers a complete electronic laboratory setup, which comprised of reliable and free embedded design utilities that will help anyone to keep up with the current technological race.

Availability, supported architectures, boot options

This Fedora remix is available for download as two Live DVD ISO images of approximately 2GB in size, which means that they can only be burned onto DVD discs or deployed to USB flash drives of 4GB or higher capacity.

The boot menu is identical with the one of other Fedora remixes, allowing users to start the live environment with default settings. The "Troubleshooting" will also allow the user to start the live session in safe graphics mode, run a RAM test, boot from the local drive, and test the medium for defects (only if using a DVD media).

An electronic laboratory on top of the modern GNOME desktop environment

The default desktop environment for this Fedora respin is GNOME, which is also used on the main Fedora Live CD edition. It's comprised of a single panel from where users can interact with opened applications, search the entire system for files and apps, cycle between multiple workspaces, as well as to lunch apps.

Among the pre-installed applications, we can mention Eclipse IDE, Dia diagram creator, Emacs text editor, Eeschema schematic capture editor, Electric VLSI integrated-circuit design software, gResistor resistor color code calculator, KiCad EDA software suite, PCB Designer printed circuit board designer, and the entire Alliance VLSI CAD system.

Bottom line

Summing up, Fedora's Electronic Laboratory Live CD edition is a Linux distribution dedicated to support the innovation and development brought by the open source Electronic Design Automation (EDA) community.

What is new in this release:

  • This release highlights Fedora's commitment in strengthening the electronic hardware communities with an advanced Electronic Design Automation (EDA) environment. The latter
  • was optimized to support OpenMoko development team.
  • entails a peer review solution for hardware design.
  • has Eclipse 3.5 series for VHDL/Verilog IPCores development and documentation.
  • entails the latest gEDA/gaf release, openocd, simulators for 8051 microcontrollers,

What is new in version F11:

  • Existing RPM packages were updated improve design experience in terms of development time and debugging. The key highlights of the major development items puts the quality barrier higher than the previous releases:
  • Perl modules to extend vhdl and verilog support. These Perl modules together with gtkwave improves chip testing support.
  • Perl parsers for VHDL, Verilog and SystemC.
  • Introduced collaborative development solutions.
  • Introduction of Verilog-AMS modeling into ngspice.
  • Improved VHDL debugging support with gcov.
  • Improved support for re-usable HDL packages as IP core.
  • Improved PLI support on both iverilog and ghdl
  • Introduction of C-based methodologies for HDL testbenches and models.
  • Improved co-simulation based hardware design.
  • Introduction of design tools for DSP design flow.
  • Eclipse, the comprehensive Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for embedded systems is also part of the collection. This IDE is included for the first time on the Livedvd (but available since a long time on Fedora repositories) entails plugins for C++, Perl and Version Control systems (CVS,GIT,SVN).

What is new in version F10:

  • 2007/11/08 Official release with minor bug fixes.
  • 2007/11/01 Added abstract and flyer(8 pages)
  • 2007/10/19 More KDE tools for project management and F8's artwork added.
  • 2007/10/10 Kickstart file has been updated
