New ContributorError with PDN Tool 2.0 for Cyclone V
Hello,
I'm trying to use the PDN Tool 2.0, version 16, build 04.27, for Cyclone V.
After starting the tool, I keep getting the following error message:
Runtime error 53
File not found: 28nm_pdn_16.0_hid_04_27_32bit.dll
I'm using Excel 2016.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this problem?
Thank you in advance.
Matthias
Hello Farabi,
Thank you for your reply.
I've solved my problem in the meantime.
I copied the missing DLL file (28nm_pdn_16.0_hid_04_27_32bit.dll) from the original directory
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\PDN_Tool\28nm\16.0\04.27\ to the directory
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
Now it works.
Regards, Matthias
