Before using the uCµC/OS BSP it must first be added to the Xilinx SDK development environment. The downloaded archive must be extracted to a suitable location preferably in a path without spaces. Once registered the location of Micrium Micriµm files should not be changed, otherwise the repository will have to be registered again.
A repository can be installed globally or locally, When installed globally it will be available across all workspace without having to register the BSP in each workspace. However, to prevent conflicting with other BSPs it is recommended to install the Micrium BSP only in the required workspaces.

It is possible to install more than one version of the repository in the same workspace. However Micrium does not support "mix and matching" components and drivers between repository versions. |

Upgrade instructions
The recommended approach when upgrading to a new version of the μ C/OS BSP is to create a brand new BSP instead of updating the existing ones. To upgrade the BSP version in an existing workspace Micrium recommends the following workflow :
...
After applying the previous steps, re-open the BSP configuration pane and update the version of every Micrium drivers used in the BSP to the latest version.
