We have used gEDA for our Cortex-M3 based designs. The schematic is completely in gEDA. However, for layout we had to use commercial tool for the size required.
gEDA works like a charm and I could not but smile when I could even 'make' my schematics. :-))
If any of the members have been able to exploit layout with open-source tools for >2 layers please let me know, I'd love to share some notes.
I use PCB for 1,2 and 4 layers including an lpc2468FBD design. Infact we stopped using closed tools 3 yrs ago. I have not used BGAs primarily due to the complications in assembly.
