Workspaces

SDK uses the concept of workspaces to hold your software development work. A workspace is a directory in your file system that SDK uses to hold meta-information about the hardware design you are working with. The workspace also contains your SDK settings, software project files, and logs.

SDK requires that you use one workspace per hardware design that you are working with. To switch your development to a different hardware design (or a different instance of the same design), you must to create a new workspace and switch your SDK workspace.

A workspace is associated with a hardware design by providing a reference to a Hardware Specification File in SDK. Refer to Hardware Specification file for more information on this topic.

For convenience, SDK can be instructed to remember your last used workspace. When you enable this option, you will not be prompted to choose a workspace every time you start SDK. You can always switch your current workspace in SDK.

Note: It is not safe to copy or move workspaces from one location to another. If you want to copy or move software components in your workspace, you are required to use the SDK Export/Import functions.
