Parallella board design files
To install the parallella-template onto your system, copy the entire directory to your KiCad template directory, keeping the name the same. KiCad will pick this up the next time it is started. On my Linux system it's under ~/kicad/template/. Or for the more adventurous, drop it into the the system templates: Windows PC directory C:\Program Files\KiCad\share\template, or on Linux under /usr/local/share/kicad/template, although the application seemed to be looking for it under /usr/local/share/template and I haven't found where to change that path. In the meantime I added a link from where it's…
