How to Migrate a Software Project from XPS to Standalone SDK
Adding and managing software applications in XPS is deprecated starting in release 11.1
and will become obsolete starting in release 12.1. You can still continue using an existing
XPS project until 12.1, but it is highly recommend that you migrate the software portion to
the Standalone SDK flow to take advantage of the flexibility and advanced features in
adding and managing software. You can follow the step-by-step instructions described
below on how to migrate from an existing XPS flow to an SDK design flow. The same
generic steps can also be used on other Sysgen/EDK designs to accomplish the same
migration paths between XPS and Standalone SDK.
