Tip

When libraries are referenced in the device description, they are automatically copied into the package. Libraries which are referenced via placeholders are resolved at the same time. The requirement is that the libraries are available in the library repository and the device description is installed. In the case of uncompiled libraries, an explicit prompt is displayed as to whether or not these should be used.
