BSP CONFIGURATION FILES AND FOLDERS

In building a BSP a number of configuration and batch files are used. In Solution Explorer you see two folders, Parameter Files and src, in the BSP’s folder under the platform tree. The Parameter Files configure the BSP build, as shown in Table 35-3.

TABLE 35-3: BSP Parameter Files

FILE	PURPOSE
config.bib	The memory configuration of the board.
platform.bib	BIB settings for all components of the BSP. Typically some components of the BSP are optional, so their BIB settings are conditional so that only the selected options are included in the image.
platform.dat	Not used.
platform.db	Not used.
platform.reg	Registry settings for all components of the BSP. Typically some components of the BSP are optional, so their registry settings are conditional.
sources.cmn	Starting point of the BSP build process. All source files in directories below it in the BSP are dependent upon it. Provides include directories and libraries to link.
<bsp>.bat	BSP environment variables to use in the build process. In particular it specifies devices in the BSP that can be included in the build. (<bsp> is the name of the BSP.)

Expanding the src folder of a BSP in Solution Folder, you see the following folders, as shown in Table 35-4. (There may be some BSP-specific folders as well.)
