If you want to know which RAM is installed in your PC (DDR, DDR2…) and its speed, type this command:

$ sudo dmidecode --type 17

Remember that dmidecode can provide additional (useful) information about your HW.

If you are going to develop Verilog/VHDL code using eclipse I’ve got good news for you. Veditor provides a nice environment to work with Verilog. To install it click Help->Install new software. The repository URL is at:

http://veditor.sourceforge.net/update

Be sure to uncheck Group items by category, otherwise Veditor won’t show up.

First go here and choose your operating system and architecture. Download the corresponding jre.

$ chmod +x jre-6u16-linux-i586-rpm.bin
$ sudo ./jre-6u16-linux-i586-rpm.bin

Probably your system has another java version already installed:

$ java -version

If this is the case select the new jre using alternatives:

$ sudo alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jre1.6.0_16/bin/java 2
$ sudo alternatives --config java        #choose 2

To check that the selection has worked:

$ alternatives --display java
$ java -version
