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 hard drive. 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.

    79 This connects the ports from the prng_useriosrc_plbw to the appropriate ports on the User I/O core. At this point, you may wonder how you are supposed to know the names of ports themselves. Unfortunately, ports that are floating (i.e. disconnected) do not show up in the system.mhs file. The best way to find a full list of all ports a pcore has is by looking at its entry in the "System Assembly View" tab. In the next step, we'll be looking at this view to verify that the prng_useriosrc pcore is correctly hooked up to the system.
