    33The Xilinx Embedded Development Kit uses Xilinx Board Description (XBD) files to describe the hardware and peripheral resources provided by custom FPGA systems. These XBD files are available to download from the WARP repository. In order for EDK to recognize the WARP Boards in Base System Builder, the XBDs must be installed in the EDK's search path. The recommended installation location is in the [wiki:edk_user_repository EDK user repository] and the process is described there as well.

    5 See [wiki:FAQ/EDK#HowdoIinstalltheWARPsupportfiles this entry] in the [wiki:FAQ WARP FAQ] for suggested methods of installing the XBD.

    75Alternatively, you can directly download the latest WARP FPGA Board XBDs from the [source:PlatformSupport/XBD/boards subversion repository]. Once downloaded save it to the following location:

    14 And finally in EDK, browse to ''Edit->Preferences'' and in the ''Application Preferences'' section add ''C:\WARP_Repository''. However if you download just the XBDs, all the custom cores will not be available to use. For the complete repository follow the instruction [wiki:edk_user_repository here].

    1616As you can see, there are two XBDs that are available. The first enables (without the LogicClkBoard) enables the use of just the [wiki:HardwareUsersGuides/FPGABoard_v1.2 FPGA Board], its I/O etc. The second includes additional custom cores that control the [wiki:HardwareUsersGuides/ClockBoard_v1.1 Clock Board], [wiki:HardwareUsersGuides/RadioBoard_v1.4 Radio Boards], [wiki:HardwareUsersGuides/AnalogBoard_v1.1 Analog Boards] etc.
