Hi Aravind, If you have already checked out from casper-astro/mlib_devel then all you need to do is do a "git pull" and then run the "pip3 install -r requirements.txt" to install the new xm2vhdl.
If you have installed the ska-sa/mlib_devel repo then I suggest you rename it and do a new git clone of the casper-astro/mlib_devel. Please see https://casper-toolflow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/Installing-the-Toolflow.html <https://casper-toolflow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/Installing-the-Toolflow.html> and follow instructions.
