## VDT plugin documentation

Documentation is available in a separate [vdt_docs](https://github.com/Elphel/vdt-docs) repository.

Here are some [screenshots](https://github.com/Elphel/vdt-docs/blob/master/VDT-UserManualAddendum.pdf)

## Installation of VDT plugin and related programs

VDT plugin for Eclipse is designed to integrate different tools for Verilog-based FPGA design.

Currently it supports only GNU/Linux operating system and tool specification file support

```

sudo apt-get install autoconf gperf flex bison g++ zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev git

```

#### For simulation with Cocotb

```

sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev

```

#### Java JDK

For most tasks JRE is sufficient, but if you would like to be able to modify and recompile Verilog

language parsing you will need java compiler that comes with the full JDK.

merged (using provided script) and compiled/built as Eclipse plugin project.

#### Clone VDT plugin source code

```

git clone https://github.com/Elphel/vdt-plugin.git

git clone https://git.elphel.com/Elphel/vdt-plugin.git

```

### Run VEditor installation/patch script from within the top directory of vdt-plugin

```

You may already have it if you installed other software for Elphel NC393 camera development, if that

is the case you can skip the next step and use ~/git/elphel393/fpga-elphel/x393/

```

git clone https://github.com/Elphel/x393.git

git clone https://git.elphel.com/Elphel/x393.git

cd x393

./INIT_PROJECT

```

Python program used on the target and during Cocotb simulation requires Python numpy module,

on Ubuntu you may install it with

```

sudo apt-get install python-numpy

```

The last command copies Eclipse .project and .pydevproject files to the working directory.

From the Eclipse instance that runs VDT plugin (not the one with the VDT source code)

```

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
