Is there free software to create and simulate virtual populated PCBs? Fritzing allows creation, but it doesn't simulate the board.
For simulation one needs the exact behaviour of all parts. That excludes board with parts that have a closed design, or insufficient documentation. But for many parts, and hopefully soon with CPU-ICs thanks to RISC-V, we can do simulation.
I don't expect real-time simulation, but at least a solution for letting the machine compute over night to see if the board successfully does X.
Any suggestions? Is this a problem waiting for a solution?
