How BORA project files are managed
N.B. <u>Sometimes the download of the Vivado 2014.4 full package fails because of some download system malfunctioning, but the problem is barely noticeable, except by performing the MD5 check of the downloaded file. In case of problems, we suggest using the Multi-File Download (available on the same web page), that splits the full package in a collection of smaller files. If you use the Multi-File Download to get the "Vivado (No SDK)" package, you must also download the "Software Development Kit - 2014.4" package.</u>
===How BORA /BORAX project files are managed===
Since a Vivado project for the Zynq device is composed by a lot of files (including temporary and GUI-managed files), providing the BORA project files with the BELK is not considered as an efficient and user-friendly solution, for two main reasons:
*we should provide a compressed archive for each version (updates, new features, bug fixes) of the project, wasting storage space and download bandwidth, introducing redundancy and complicating file management
The public git repository for BORA/Zynq project files is <code>git@git.dave.eu:dave/bora/bora.git</code>.
Please note that BELK distribution provides the git archive of the .git directory of the repository, so the user can immediately get access to the development tree (please refer to section TBD).
 
==Setting up the Linux development server environment==
During development, user needs to interact with the target system. This section describes the tools that must be installed and configured on the Linux host system for this purpose.
