Generating a board support package


Generating a board support package (BSP) involves running a tool called Libgen which generates all the components constituting the BSP.

To build a BSP project, right-click the project and select Build Project or Rebuild Project. You can also select Project > Build Project.

You can also set an option to have SDK automatically initiate a build when you create or change your BSP project. To set this option, select Project > Build Automatically. With this option, SDK uses Libgen to automatically build the project. At the end of the build process, the necessary header and library files are generated within the software platform directory.
