 1. Extract the archive into a folder on your hard drive. Note: this folder '''must not''' contain any spaces in the path (this includes the the Windows desktop, as that lives in a folder known as "Documents and Settings").
 1. Rename the folder to remove the "_cleaned" suffix and replace it with "_helloworld."
+1. Launch Xilinx Platform Studio and click "Open Project." Navigate to the location of your project and open the system.xmp file in the project folder.
+ * If this is the first time you have run XPS, you will receive a number of error messages saying that cores cannot be found. XPS must be told where to find the WARP SVN repository in order for it to find these files. In XPS, click Edit->Preferences. Then, under the "Application" category, click "Browse ..." under the "Global Peripheral Repository Search Path." Navigate to and select the "edk_user_repository" folder on your harddrive. If you do not have an "edk_user_respotory" SVN working copy, please see [wiki:edk_user_repository our SVN documentation]. After making this selection, close and reopen XPS. This step of adding the global repository path only needs to be done once per installation of the Xilinx tools.
+1. Once the project is open, click "Generate BitStream" under the "Hardware" menu. This step will take some time. XPS provides a busy indicator animation in the bottom right to show you that it is working on generating the bitstream. Furthermore, the "Console" tab at the bottom of the screen can be open while the bitstream is being generated. Log messages will be printed here.
