Description:

The mkworkspace.py utility prepares the workspace on your host system. Run this utility to merge the common and product-specific content and configuration information from the path specified into a single deployment directory, and copy from the location specified by source to the absolute location specified by the -w option.

This process copies only the required files, leaving behind files not needed for the current product, board, etc. It eliminates unneeded files and directories, simplifying the work environment.

The utility script infers the path to the directory with the common content and configuration (common/) from the path you specify for the product-specific content and configuration information.
