Currently HWC only supports GSDML files. To install General Station Description Markup Language (GSDML) files (*.xml), use the install-gsd command of the Hardware Compiler. The GSD files must be placed in an Apax project (the folder containing apax.yml) or in one of its subfolders. We support all official GSDML versions.
