Introduction

If you're new to DVT, you may want to start with a predefined project.

Opening a Predefined Project

To open one, go to File, New, and select DVT Predefined Project. A dialog that shows you a list of all the predefined projects currently available appears.

Overview of Predefined Projects

Predefined projects are provided to illustrate the different capabilities of DVT. Their purpose is mainly educational, but also act as good references when setting up your own DVT projects. They are included in all DVT install distributions, and there is at least one for every DVT-supported language: SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL, and e Language.

Selecting and Saving a Predefined Project

Every project has a short description. You can see it in the right panel. A copy of the selected project will be saved in the target directory. This way, you won't need to concern yourself that you may break something. At any time, you can overwrite it.

Starting Your Project

Let's select UVM 1.2 Ubus and click Finish. You now have a fully functional project to start.
