|

|

Given the scope of changes for the v3.0 release, we have recommendations for how
|
||||
to upgrade from prior ACRN versions:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Start fresh from our :ref:`gsg`. This is the best way to ensure you have a
|
||||
v3.0-ready board XML file from your target system and generate a new scenario
|
||||
XML and launch scripts from the new ACRN Configurator that are consistent and
|
||||
will work for the v3.0 build system.
|
||||
#. Use the :ref:`upgrade tool <upgrading_configuration>` to attempt
|
||||
upgrading configuration files that worked with a release before v3.0. You’ll
|
||||
need the matched pair of scenario XML and launch XML files from a prior
|
||||
configuration, and use them to create a new merged scenario XML file. See
|
||||
:ref:`upgrading_configuration` for details.
|
||||
#. Manually edit your prior scenario XML and launch XML files to make them
|
||||
compatible with v3.0. This is not our recommended approach.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some additional details about upgrading to the v3.0 release.
