User's Guide
Version 1.0 - October 2005
1 Design Kit Installation
1.1 Platform Specific JAVA Runtime Installation
To be able to run the MAC Design Kit delivery and configuration tool, a Java runtime must be
present on the system. The design kit needs the Java Runtime Environment Version 1.2.x
(JRE1.2) or later.
To determine if and which Java version is installed on your system, open a Shell and type "java
-version"
. If you get errors then the runtime is not installed. If the version is lower than 1.3.x a
newer package must be installed.
A platform specific package (The runtime standard edition 1.3, JRE 1.3, is sufficient) can be
downloaded from the Sum Microsystems WEB site:
http://java.sun.com/j2se .
To install the runtime environment, follow the instructions included in the download package:
• Windows platform: Execute the self-extracting archive.
• Solaris/Linux: Extract the package in a directory and add the bin directory to the PATH
environment variable.
1.2 Design Kit Installation
A single executable Java delivery and configuration utility, common to all platforms, is provided,
ethpack.jar. The utility generates all the required design files as well as the required scripts for
simulation and implementation.
After unzipping the distribution in any directory
1
, the Java application can be started immediately:
• Windows users:
1. Double-click on the ethpack.jar file found in the distribution top directory
• UNIX (Solaris/Linux) users:
1. Goto the installation directory: $> cd <installation directory>
2. Execute the Java application: $> java -jar ethpack.jar

Use the extract feature of your unzip tool. Avoid using drag&drop as it does not preserve the directory structure.
