 Most projects which use the WARP hardware will be assembled and generated in Xilinx Platform Studio (XPS), part of the Embedded Developer's Kit. We provide a number of files which make it easy to create projects for the WARP hardware. These files must be installed in the directories:
 {{{
-C:\EDK_user_repository\WARP\boards\
-C:\EDK_user_repository\WARP\pcores\
-C:\EDK_user_repository\WARP\drivers\
+C:\WARP_Repository\WARP\boards\
+C:\WARP_Repository\WARP\pcores\
+C:\WARP_Repository\WARP\drivers\
 }}}
 
 The best way to get these files is to use a Subversion client. See [wiki:repositoryAccess WARP Repository Access] for more information on getting & using Subversion.
 
-   1. Nagivate to {{{C:\EDK_user_repository\}}}
-   1. Checkout the platform support files from the repository
-     1. If you're using TortoiseSVN in Windows, checkout this URL:
-{{{
-http://warp.rice.edu/svn/WARP/EDK_User_Repository/
-}}}
-     1. If you're using the command-line {{{svn}}}, checkout this URL:
-{{{
-http://warp.rice.edu/svn/WARP/EDK_User_Repository/WARP/
-}}}
-   1. This will create a Subversion working copy of the platform support files on your local machine. You can update this working copy using Subversion anytime to sync your files with the repository.
+Instructions for downloading the repository to your computer are available [wiki:edk_user_repository here].
