FOSSEE 3-Day workshop on eSim

eSim (previously known as Oscad / FreeEDA) is a free/libre and open source EDA tool for circuit design, simulation, analysis and PCB design. It is an integrated tool built using free/libre and open source software such as KiCad, Ngspice and GHDL. eSim is released under GPL.

These workshops are being conducted by the expert faculty members of Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. For registration and more details, visit our webpage. Participation certificate will be awarded to all the people who attend this workshop.
