PDK Manager

The Process Design Kit (PDK) Manager allows you to browse, install, update, and remove PDKs for your Chipro projects.
Each project can use one PDK, and views such as schematic, layout, netlist, librelane and symbol depend entirely on the PDK environment.

The PDK Manager interface lists:

  • Installed PDKs – available immediately for use
  • Available PDKs – ready to download and install
  • Total PDKs – all PDKs supported by your Chipro installation

PDK Manager

You can search by PDK name, technology, or tags, and install PDKs with a single click.

info

A valid PDK is required for many core Chipro features:

  • A project cannot operate without an installed PDK.
  • Views such as Layout, LibreLane, and Schematic rely on the PDK to load correctly.
  • If a PDK is removed while still in use, the affected views will stop functioning until the PDK is reinstalled.
