To use the IP‑XACT editor, you will need the following software components installed:
· A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) at release 1.5.0 or later
·
The Eclipse Platform version 3.3 or later
· The Plugins that comprise the IP‑XACT editor
Optional for editor, but required for the Feature Tour section of this document:
· The SPIRIT Consortium’s Public Release Documentation
· The SPIRIT Consortium’s Leon2 example
The IP‑XACT
editor will not load with a version of JRE less than 1.5.0. If you
already have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed, you should check that
its version is at release 1.5.0 or later. To do this, type
java –version
at a command prompt, and the current version will be reported.
If you need to install a Java Runtime Environment (JRE), go to the Sun Java site at http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and follow the instructions there to install a JRE suitable for your platform.
The IP‑XACT
editor requires the Eclipse Platform version 3.3 or later. This can be
downloaded from the Eclipse download page http://www.eclipse.org/downloads.
Any of the packages on this page will work; chose one based on how else, if at
all, you will be using Eclipse.
The
editor plugins can be installed from the Eclipse Europa update site. To install them:
It is strongly suggested that you download the SPIRIT Consortium’s Public Release Documentation for the SPIRIT IP‑XACT version 1.2 release. This is available from http://www.spiritconsortium.org/tech/docs/. The file you require is IP‑XACT_V1.2_Public_release.zip.
This example is provided in the IP‑XACT_V1.2_Public_release.zip that you can download from the SPIRIT Consortium’s web site. (See The SPIRIT Consortium’s Public Release Documentation).
