# Setup vendor specific environment variables in .bashrc

  * bashrc defines root directories that contain one or more versions of tool installations
    - define MENTOR_DIR : modelsim installations
    - define ALTERA_DIR : altera installations

    - LM_LICENSE_FILE=<our_license@our_compagny>

# Setup RadioHDL development environment for hdl/. The hdl/libraries, hdl/boards and hdl/applications are
# developed simultaneously and therefor in one git hdl/ repository

> cd git
  alias initsdp='cd $HOMEDATA/git/hdl;. ./init_hdl.sh;cd ../upe_gear;. ./init_upe.sh;cd ../sdptr;. ./init_sdptr.sh;cd ..'

> cd ~/git/hdl

> . ./init_hdl.sh

  * init_hdl.sh defines:
    - RADIOHDL_WORK directory for where the source code resides
    - HDL_BUILD_DIR directory for where the targets will be build
    - HDL_IOFILE_SIM_DIR=${HDL_BUILD_DIR}/sim for simulating with Modelsim using file IO

  * init_hdl copies git user_components.ipx into Altera dir's
    - cp ${RADIOHDL_WORK}/hdl_user_components.ipx $altera_dir/ip/altera/user_components.ipx
