How a project decides whether to move to a new process design kit or design tool version after its design environment is frozen, and how it moves without losing sign-off integrity. The new version is reviewed, qualified on reference designs, assessed for rework, decided at the board, migrated at a planned point and correlated against the old results before the environment baseline is updated.
A new PDK or tool version is reviewed and qualified, its design impact assessed, the board decides whether to adopt it mid-project, and an adopted version is migrated and correlated before the environment baseline is updated.
