Introduction to XploR Studio Component Management

This section covers how to install, uninstall, upgrade components in IDE and command line

In XploR Studio IDE

Install

After successful installation, the baseline IDE does not contain any resources like plugins, toolchains, example projects, and target bitfiles. So, users need to install the desired resources to start working with XploR Studio.

To install component(s) in XploR Studio, follow these steps:

  • Select the icon Image alt in the toolbar to show a list of available components:

  • On the left side of the window, there is a filter box. User can choose to show type of components by selecting the corresponding checkbox.

  • To install the desired component, check the box in the No. column and select Install. One or more components can be installed at the same time.

Uninstall

The Status column shows whether the component is installed locally. User can uninstall a component by checking the box in the No. column and selecting Uninstall. Similar to installing feature, one or more components can be uninstalled at the same time.

Upgrade

If a component has multiple available versions, you can select a specific version of that component by simply double-clicking on it. A new dialog will be shown to display all available versions:
