Procedure SDK: opening and update SDK project only
('updated' SW on 'NOT updated' HW)

Procedure XPS+SDK: opening and update both XPS and SDK projects
('updated' SW on 'not updated' HW')

Update XPS project from an old version to a new one.

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)

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.

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.
