How to do Reverse engineering via EntityFramework using a Firebird data source in VisualStudio 2015?

Navigation

I have a Firebird database already populated and I would like to use this same base for a web project in visual studio 2015.

I would like to use a class library and generate the template using EF Code-First - Starting from an existing database but on a Firebird server.

I installed Firebird ADO.NET Data Provider and tried to give a "connect to database" in visual studio, I selected "Firebird Data Source", I gave it but when I select the DB in the window "add conecction" the window closes and I have to restart the process in "connect to database" or the VS hangs and restarts.

It did not work, so I installed ADO.NET firebird, as below: 

PM> Install-Package FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient
PM> Install-Package EntityFramework.Firebird

But I still can not connect to the DB with VisualStudio.

Does anyone know how to solve it?

Thank you.

Install the Firebird ADO.NET Data Provider and DDEX, available here with Visual Studio < strong> closed .

Try to repeat the reverse engineering procedure soon after.

EDIT

As the @TobyMosque tip , you may need to install EF Tools .
