From the Eclipse instance that runs VDT plugin (not the one with the VDT source code)
use the same steps as for importing VDT plugin code (described above):
```
File->Import->Git->Projects from Git->Existing local repository-> Select directory where you cloned eddr3
Import Existing Projects (wizard selection)
```
Keep **eddr3** checked and press **Finish**
### configuration of VDT for eddr3 project
The cloned eddr3 project does not include Verilog modules of Xilinx primitives that are
required even for simulation of the design. The required library (unisims) is included
with the Xilinx Vivado software and the proprietary license does not allow to redistribute
it. VDT provides means to copy this library from your Vivado installation to the project,
So for the next step you need Xilinx software to be installed on the same or different
computer running GNU/Linux.
Open the top module (ddrc_test01.v) in the Editor (seems to be a bug that prevents
configuration without that step)
Open "Verilog/VHDL' perspective:
```
Window->Open Perspective->Other->Verilog/VHDL
```
It should look as shown on screenshots in [VDT-UserManualAddendum.pdf](https://github.com/Elphel/vdt-docs/blob/master/VDT-UserManualAddendum.pdf?raw=true),
with bottom-left panel showind "Design Menu" and FPGA-related tools
#### Configure access to the server with Xilinx tools
In the "Design menu" panel select "Package" icon, it will open a dialog with "Xilinx server setup"
tab active.
If you have Xilinx tools installed on the same computer as VDT, leave the default value for
*Remote Host IP* (localhost) and *Remote user name* (your current login name).
If you are using phisically different computer - change the both fields as needed.
You may also change Vivado Release to the current one, installation directory (if different from the
default) and configure same parameters for Xilinx ISE if you plan to use it (VDT supports both)
Next you need to setup password-less access to the tools server based on the key pairs:
Generate ssh key (if you do not have it already). Use command line tool or expand
*Vivado Tools* in the design menu, right-click *Start remote Vivado session* and select
*Generate public key* (or use a key icon on the Design menu toolbar)
Send this key to the server - you may either use a command-line program *ssh-copy-id* or right-click
*Start remote Vivado session* and select *Setup connection to user@server* (tools icon on the toolbar).
This operation requires you to enter the password for the server and this requires a separate program
to be installed, you can do this with
```
sudo apt-get install ssh-askpass
```
If ssh will not find *ssh-askpass* or a similar program, it will fail and Eclipse console output will
output the resolution suggestions.
With ssh-askpass a separate dialog window will open, likely the first question will be not the password
itself, but your permission to connect to an unknown host, so just enter *yes* there.
If everything was configured correctly you may try opening remote Vivado session (later it will
happen automatically when needed):
Right-click *Start remote Vivado session* and select *Launch Vivado* (door with entering green arrow icon
on the toolbar)
If everything is correct, in Eclipse console you will see
```
puts "@@FINISH@@"
```
and a few secods later server response ending with
```
@@FINISH@@
```
@@FINISH@@ sequence is just a marker to know server successfully finished the requested command
*Start remote Vivado session* shold now show pulsating green dot to the right of it and the console is
open for both VDT communication and you can also manually enter TCL commands as covered in Xilinx Vivado
