Setting up software repositories


Do the following to add or remove software repositories in your SDK workspace:
  1. Click Tools > Software Repositories to open the Software Repositories dialog box.
  2. To add a repository, click Add. Browse to and select the top-level repository directory.
    Note: The top-level of your repository is defined as the directory containing your repository library directory.
    For instance, if you have a repository structure such as
    $HOME/Xilinx/myrepositories/my_sdk_repos/{drivers,sw_services,bsp}/...,
    where my_sdk_repos is the repository directory, enter the path $HOME/Xilinx/myrepositories when you add the repository to SDK.
  3. To remove a repository, click on an item in the repository list and click Remove.
  4. To edit a repository path, click on an item in the repository list and click Edit.
  5. To change the order of precedence in the list of repositories, select a repository and click Move Up or Move Down.
Note: The order in which you add repository paths are important. Items earlier in the list will take precedence over items that follow.
