Windows XP Embedded:
A build machine is required, with a copy of Microsoft Embedded Studio installed 
on it.

1. If a previous version of this driver has been used, delete the repository from
   under the "Windows Embedded Data" folder.  To locate the exact folder to remove,
   browse in the "Repositories" subfolder.  A number of folders will be present, 
   each named with a GUID.  These numbers are globally unique, so the exact folder 
   name cannot be listed here, and the only way to identify the exact folder is to 
   examine the contents.  The folder in question will have six files:  Gx2Prop.dll, 
   Gx2WdmXe.inf, Gx2WdmAu.sld, Gx2WdmAu.sys, ks.inf, and wdmaudio.inf.  Delete the 
   entire folder, it will be replaced in a later step.
2. Import the component into Target Designer:
   - Copy the distribution files to a directory on the build machine.
   - Make sure that no tools in Embedded Studio are running.
   - Start the Component Database Manager, it should be running in Exclusive mode.
     Check the title bar to verify the words "(Exclusive Mode)" are present.
   - On the Database tab, press the "Import..." button.
   - Under "SLD File" enter the path to the distributed file "Gx2WdmAu.sld," 
     the "..." button will open an "Open" dialog box.
   - Verify the checkbox "Copy Repository files to Repository Root" is checked.
   - Press the "Import" button at the bottom of the dialog.  This should complete
     without error.  The most common error is failing to remove an old repository,
     see step #1 above.
   - Close the Component Database Manager.

3. Add the component to a configuration:
   - Open an existing SLX file for the project.  If one does not exist, one can
     be obtained for the Geode reference platforms from AMD.
   - Add the component by dragging "Advanced Micro Devices Geode Gx2 Audio Driver" 
     from the catalog to the configuration.
   - Consider adding additional components, such as Media Player.
