For XMOS product releases, the standard procedure is :
 
The first stage is to create a workspace into which we will install the reference design software, using the following procedure :
File | Switch workspace | Other | Browse | Create New Folder
Give the folder the name of your workspace.
Next we need to import the projects within the software reference design archive into xTIMEcomposer as per XMOS Tools User Guide, Chapter 5 "Import or export a project in the XDE". We should use the following commands :
File | Import | General | Existing Projects into Workspace | Next
Select Archive File | Browse to the Archive File | Finish
Then you should be able to right click on the app (e.g. app_usb_aud_l1) and select Build.
 
Please note that it is important to import projects, rather than just unzipping them and opening as an Eclipse Workspace. The reason for this is that the import process resolves paths and dependencies.
 
To check the JTAG installation, in xTIMEcomposer :
    Right click on the app you have just built and select : Debug As | Debug Configurations...
    Double click on the xCORE Application. If you select Device options: | Run on: hardware. You should see the XTAG listed in the Target pull down menu. If you don't then you can hit Refresh and xTIMEcomposer will scan again.
 
If you archive a project by zipping it up and then using the zip file later then you can use the above procedure except it is better to extract the zip file into a temporary folder and then importing the files from the temporary folder into the workspace folder. The only modification to the above procedure is :
 
File | Import | General | Existing Projects into Workspace | Next
Select root directory | Browse to the temporary folder | Select Copy Projects Into Workspace | Finish
