This is very interesting... How do some people, or system IT "designers", or System guys, perceive the term: "Board Support Package"??? Funny, isn't it? Or, at least, pejorative!? Zee ___ On Thu, May 5, 2022 at 5:42 AM jchludzinski via lists.yoctoproject.org wrote: > > OE Linux uses device

Demo apps is the least of the worst. They also add benchmarks, make tweaks to components that are in distribution (rather than hardware support) scope, and even go ahead and define their own distributions, and then make it impossible or very difficult to separate the distro from the BSP. Oh, and

BSP is not a well defined term in embedded Linux. Back in the day, Montavista tried to popularise the term LSP, meaning Linux Support Package but it never caught on. These days, BSP generally means all the things you need to run a basic system. So that's bootloader, device tree, kernel config,

OK, let me try this: With other embedded OS's, the hardware specifics that are in the BSP are in the device trees in Linux. I assume the BSP's for OE Linux are rather simple? On 2022-05-05 04:47, Josef Holzmayr wrote: Howdy! Am Do., 5. Mai 2022 um 10:43 Uhr schrieb jchludzinski via

A board-support-package (BSP) is software that provides a layer of abstraction from the physical board specifics for the host embedded OS (e.g., VXworks). I believe the device tree files (*.dts, *dtsi) in OE Linux provide the same function. It allows to OE kernel code to be independent of

OE Linux uses device tree files (*.dts and *.dtsi files), so is there any need for a board-support-package? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group. View/Reply Online (#56996): https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/message/56996 Mute This Topic:
