Setting up software repositories

Do the following to add or remove software repositories in your SDK workspace:

Click Xilinx Tools > Repositories to open the Software Repositories tab in the Preferences dialog box.
To add a local or global repository, click New. Browse to and select your repository library directory.
Note: The top-level of your repository is defined as the directory containing your repository library directory.

For instance, suppose that you have a repository structure such as
$HOME/Xilinx/myrepositories/my_sdk_repos/{drivers,sw_services,bsp}/...,
where my_sdk_repos is the repository library directory and $HOME/Xilinx/myrepositories is the top-level.
Type the path $HOME/Xilinx/myrepositories/my_sdk_repos when you add the repository to SDK (although the top-level repository continues to be accepted for backward compatibility, this use is not recommended).
To remove a repository, click an item in the repository list and click Remove.
To change the order of precedence in the list of repositories, select a repository and click Up or Down.
To update the list of software libraries, board support packages, and drivers in SDK, click Rescan Repositories.

Note: The order in which you add repository paths is important. Items earlier in the list will take precedence over items that follow, and local repository settings take precedence over global repository settings.
