    Thanks! I sometimes do AVR (32) projects, but using Windows GUI. I am aware that there is a Linux toolchain, but never explored it. Don't even know if there is a debugger (gdb+Eclipse, perhaps? It was one of earlier official IDEs.)

    There is Xilinx, though. They always had portable tools, and they ship Linux tar along with Windows. I used it quite a few years ago. Their tools are the same on both OS. Some functions (distributed place & route, IIRC) worked only on Linux.

    But for me, as I said, eng tools for Linux do not exist. Autodesk went with Windows all the way. It's pretty, but not portable. And why to port? The tools cost 10x - 100x of the cost of the PC. SolidWorks, Mentor's software - all of that is Windows. Windows for them is just a runtime (as it was supposed to be, actually.)

    I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but many in the list run on Linux: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_EDA_software [wikipedia.org]
