EXTERNALS

This directory is to hold checkouts of repositories from external sources that are needed to build our projects.

Current external repos:

• 1 ADI HDMI IP: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/fpgahdl_xilinx

Fetching content of external repos:

When this repo is cloned, there will be a directory for each external repository but initially it will be empty. To populate it when needed, run the get_xxxx script for that repository, e.g. ./get_fpgahdl_xilinx.

Adding external repos:

$ cd <root of local repository>
$ git submodule add <repository URL> fpga/externals/<name of repo>

# For example:

$ cd ../..
$ git submodule add https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/fpgahdl_xilinx fpga/externals/fpgahdl_xilinx

Then add a corresponding get_xxxx script and optionally a list of directories to include if doing a sparse checkout. Add those files to git, and commit the new setup.

NOTES

Do not make any changes to the external repository's files or folders from here, submodules are notoriously difficult to deal with if changes are made locally.
