Is there any (preferably open source, preferably python; only linux) software for microcontroller board prototyping simulation? I'm an EE and we used spice in classes to simulate circuit level stuff. Is there anything like that?

Is there a specific term for what this would be called? Just simulation software?

Also: I crossposted this on SO because I totally forgot this place existed. Hope that's ok.

If you're looking for Arduino simulator, there is virtualbreadboard.net. It can do stuff like this: alt text

    \$\begingroup\$ I recommend using both linux and windows. Those restricted to one or the other miss out in great programs, and limit their program portability. \$\endgroup\$

This simulator is called as SimulIDE just you want to do is after prototype the circuit

enter image description here

right click on the sketch and load the .hex compiled arduino program to this sketch

How to use Description Video

There is a new version of SimulIDE with more components and features, including PIC, AVR and Arduino simuation:
