to download the bitstream file (that create the Microblaze system) and the demo.elf file or to be certain that this two are already downloaded before;
the USB FX2 microcontroller on the TE0300, TE0320 or TE0630 family should contain valid firmware;
the host computer should have a specific driver installed;
the host computer should have Xilinx EDK installed;
a JTAG adapter cable. We recommend using the Xilinx Platform Cable USB (USB ↔ JTAG) .
a USB cable should be used to connect the PC and the FPGA module (USB communication test)

The procedure is procedures are the following (step 1 is optional):

...

.

Procedure SDK: opening and update SDK project only ('updated' SW on 'NOT updated' HW)	Procedure XPS+SDK: opening and update both XPS and SDK project ('updated' SW on 'not updated' HW')
	update XPS project from an old version to a new one and export the HW project to SDK;
open SDK project and (if needed) update the SDK project from an old version to a new one	recreate SDK project using the new exported HW project;
download the bitstream to the FPGA,
check the fiirmware of FX2 microcontroler;
run the demo project.
USB communication tests + DMA tests

...

Tip

For old version of Xilinx EDK with older veresion of Project Reference (they do no longer exist on GitHub) the procedure is the folowing

Open the project by double-clicking on the system.xmp file. The Xilinx Platform Studio is opened.
If you open the project with a new version of Xilinx XPS, the tool will try to update all the components of MicroBlaze system. In some case it is not possible to refuse the update.
To compile the project press the "Download Bitstream to the FPGA" button.
If the HDL design was successfully implemented and downloaded to the TE0300/TE0320/TE0630 family module, you can proceed to compile the MB software. Press the "build all user applications" button.

1) Update XPS project and export the HW project to SDK

Note
This step could be skipped. In particular the resynthesis of reference project (HW component updates) could take from 10 minutes to 1 hour; it depends on which computer is used (workstation, regular PC or server)
