free PCB software for i.mx ?

pizzatime — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 21:35:19 GMT

Is there any free windows or linux utilities that support the i.mx for PCB creation ? I have contacted Allegro and they have not responded in 10 days about trial software (I assume there is none) . I do not know if Altium supports i.mx , they do have free trial software (30 day). Let me know if you have any helpful leads on free PCB software for the i.mx. Thanks in advance.

Good day,

I am unsure what you are asking, but there are free and/or Low cost schematic and PCB available. Whether or not they have libraries for the iMX is unknown to me, but you can always create your own schematic and PCB libraries for the respective design software..

For free PCB software there is Kicad for Linux and MAC and can be found here:

As for low cost software, there seems to be a large following for Eagle:

and also Proteus:
