Hi. Welcome to the forum. I use Eagle Light 4.16 (freeware) under
Linux. The rpm is available as a free download from CADSoft. The
free version has a limit on the size of the board--I think it's
something like 3 inches by 4 inches.

I haven't used that particular A/D. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
I am interested in knowing which LCD you're using with it. Did you
breadboard that circuit?

Cheers,
Alan
