Part Developer (pdv) missing in SPB 24.1 on Linux—how to create DE-HDL library parts?

DT202608276859

What is the supported workflow for creating complete DE-HDL parts in 24.1? Is there a replacement launcher or additional installation component?

  • RHEL 8.10; SPB 24.1 S008.
  • Existing shared, file-based DE-HDL libraries configured through cds.lib.
  • syscap launches successfully with PCB_librarian_expert checked out.
  • Library Explorer offers only Symbols; Add opens Create New Schematic Model.
  • pdv and pdv.exe exist in 17.4 and 22.1, but were not found in the 24.1 installation or its installed package file lists.

    If you are looking for a full-fledged library flow to be used alongside System Capture, then you can go for AXML (Allegro X Managed Library) flow. Separate license Allegro Managed Library Authoring has to be used for that.

    Thank you for clarifying. We currently use shared, file-based DE-HDL libraries through a centralized cds.lib, and would like to continue that workflow.

    Part Developer (pdv) is present in our older installations but absent from our SPB 24.1 Linux installation. In System Capture’s Allegro DE-HDL mode, we only see options to create schematic symbols.

    What is the supported way to create and edit complete DE-HDL library parts in 24.1 on Linux without migrating to AXML? Has pdv been replaced, or does it require a separate installation component?
