Xilinx SDK Building Error
Hi,
I'm trying to build the WARP 802.11 Reference Design v1.5.2 software in Xilinx SDK 14.4. I followed all steps in the SDK user guide and updated the edk_user_repository to the latest version. However, the building process still fails for all the software projects. I got errors mainly about missing Xilinx library files such as xparameter.h, and the .elf files were never generated. I set up the repositories correctly and could build the template project successfully.
Here are two snapshots of the SDK user interface:
1) Snipped after I've done all the steps in the user guide. 
2) Shows the repository setup. 
I hope my problem could get solved. Thank you very much!

Re: Xilinx SDK Building Error
Those compilation errors indicate the BSP was not successfully built. Even if the BSPs have errors the SDK attempts to compile the applications, hence the errors you see here. You can view the BSP build log by clicking on the BSP project then looking at the Console tab. Alternatively you can look in the libgen.log file in the BSP folder. The BSPs must build successfully for the applications to compile.

Re: Xilinx SDK Building Error
Here is what the libgen.log file in wlan_bsp_cpu_high prints:

I'm not sure what has been wrong...

Re: Xilinx SDK Building Error
What version of the Xilinx tools do you have installed? The screenshot above indicates 2013.4. The libgen.log shows Release 14.4. Did you install the SDK from the ISE 14.4 installation archive? Version 14.4 is the only version we support for the 802.11 ref design on WARP v3.
There should also be more than the text above in the BSP build log. There's a compiler error somewhere in the BSP builds.

Re: Xilinx SDK Building Error
I re-installed the full Xilinx ISE design suites 14.4 and it worked at last. Thank you very much!
