Running eSim Anywhere with Docker (Mac, Linux & Windows)
🎤 Guest & Presenter: Sumanto Kar Docker installation :
🔹 What is eSim?
⚙️ A free and open-source Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool (formerly Oscad/FreeEDA)
🧩 Integrated simulation environment built on tools like KiCad, Ngspice, GHDL, Verilator, and OpenModelica
🧪 Supports SkyWater SKY130 PDK for open-source chip design
📜 Released under the GNU GPL license
🔹 Focus of This Webinar
💻 In this session, we will demonstrate how Docker can simplify the installation and execution of eSim across multiple operating systems including MacOS, Linux, and Windows.
📦 Instead of complex toolchain setups, participants will learn how to run a ready-to-use eSim environment using containerization.
