CadSoft EAGLE is proprietary software for editing circuit schematics, PCB layouts and component libraries. It is available for Windows, Linux and OS X.[1] In 2009 CadSoft Computer GmbH, developer of EAGLE was aqquired by Premier Farnell.[2] Since version 5.11 EAGLE connects to the components database from Premier Farnell (also known as Farnell, Newark, element14), allowing immediate access to parts from within the design environment.[3]
Editions
The Light edition can be used for free, for non-profit or evaluation. This is limited to boards of 100 x 80 mm (4 x 3.2 inches), only top and bottom signal layers, and the schematic editor can only create one sheet. It can however Load, view and print drawings that exceed these limits.[4]
For a single user doing non-commercial editing of e.g. the most commonly used Eurocard size, would require the Hobbyist edition, which costs €140. This allows boards of 100 x 160 mm (4 x 6.4 inches), up to 99 sheets and up to 6 signal layers. For commercial use, with the same limitations the Standard edition costs €690.[5]
Edit features
With almost identical user interfaces EAGLE provides a schematic editor, a layout editor, and library editor.
Compatibility
EAGLE exports Gerber files and enables online import of component information from Farnell.
