KiCad Version Compatibility

This library requires at least KiCad 6 to function, and is tested on KiCad versions 6.0.8 and 7.0.2. Note that the installation procedure is different for KiCad 6 and 7; please see the Library Installation section below.

Comments, Requests, Bugs & Contributions

All are welcome! Please open an Issue or Pull Request, as appropriate.

Library Installation

To install this library in your copy of KiCad, choose the correct section for your version of KiCad and follow the steps given. These instructions only cover automated installation using KiCad's built-in Package and Content Manager (PCM); manual installation is possible but not supported.

KiCad 7

  1. Download the 6502-kicad-library-3.0.0-pcm.zip library file from the Releases page, and save it somewhere you'll be able to find it easily.
  2. Open KiCad and open the Preferences window at "Preferences" -> "Preferences..."
  3. Select the "Plugin and Content Manager" section in the left-hand pane.
  4. Ensure that the "Automatically add installed libraries to the global lib table" option is ticked.
  5. Ensuring that the "Library nickname prefix" is set to "PCM_" is recommended. (Optional)
  6. Ensuring that the "Check for package updates on startup" option is ticked is recommended. (Optional)
  7. Click "OK" to close the Preferences window.
  8. Click the "Plugin and Content Manager" button.
  9. Click the "Install from File..." button.
  10. Navigate to, select and open the library file you downloaded earlier.
  11. You should now find that this library is listed in the "Installed" tab.
  12. Close the Plugin and Content Manager.
  13. You may need to restart KiCad for the library installation to fully take effect. (Optional)
  14. All done: you are now ready to use these schematic symbols in your projects!

KiCad 6

Recommendation: If you can, you should upgrade to KiCad 7.

  1. Download the 6502-kicad-library-3.0.0-pcm.zip library file from the Releases page, and save it somewhere you'll be able to find it easily.
  2. Open KiCad and click the "Plugin and Content Manager" button.
  3. Click the "Install from File..." button.
  4. Navigate to, select and open the library file you downloaded earlier.
  5. You should now find that this library is listed in the "Installed" tab.
  6. Close the Plugin and Content Manager.
  7. Go to the "Preferences" -> "Manage Symbol Libraries..." menu option.
  8. In the Symbol Libraries dialogue that appears, switch to the "Global Libraries" tab (if not already selected).
  9. Click "Add empty row to table" button (the button with a big cross in it, beneath the table).
  10. In the new line of the table, set the Nickname to "PCM_65xx-library", and ensure the Library Format is set to "KiCad".
  11. In the same line of the table, set Library Path to "${KICAD6_3RD_PARTY}/symbols/com_github_alarm-siren_6502-kicad-library/65xx-library.kicad_sym".
  12. Click "OK" to close the Symbol Libraries dialogue.
  13. All done: you are now ready to use these schematic symbols in your projects!
