Welcome to the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) OS Roadmap containing two parts:

  1. EDA Industry OS Roadmap presents guidelines for which platforms EDA vendors and customers should target for design starts. The roadmap shows when key EDA flows on flagship products support an OS. The goal is to show when a complete industry tool flow will be ready on the latest OS. Please refer to the individual company's platform support page for information on specific product and company support of an OS and platform end-of-life plans for that company. Links to the individual OS support pages are provided below. As an ongoing initiative, this roadmap is updated semiannually.
  2. OS Plans of EDA Companies is a one-stop location for EDA companies and their customers to find out which OS/compute platforms are supported by EDA Consortium member companies. Select the platform support page for each of your vendors for details on their platform support by product and to find out their end-of-life plans for a particular platform. Learn how your EDA company can participate by Joining the OS Roadmap!
