Distribution Extras

In addition to the DVT plugins which enable the IDE capabilities in Eclipse for the design and verification languages, there are some utilities like scripts or libraries, which further help you. If you are using a DVT distribution, the utilities are already included, but you can also install them separately.

Download the one matching your operating system and follow the next steps:

• LINUX: dvt_distro_extras-3.0.9-linux.zip
• WINDOWS: dvt_distro_extras-3.0.9-windows.zip
• MACOS: dvt_distro_extras-3.0.9-macos.zip
• SOLARIS: dvt_distro_extras-3.0.9-solaris.zip

• Step 1: Unpack into a folder of your choice.



• Step 2: Set DVT_HOME system variable to point to the extracted directory.



• Step 3: Create symlinks to the external eclipse and jre folders into $DVT_HOME

  	  $> ln -s <path to eclipse dir> $DVT_HOME/eclipse
  	  $> ln -s <path to jre dir> $DVT_HOME/jre
