A BSP or Board Support Package, atleast has a ROMinitializtion module. A device driver is a translator between the kernel and the hardware device. The board vendor usually provides a BSP as part of a development kit, which may have low-level boot-loader, drivers, ROM-image, a param file specifying the settings, interrupt levels etc. all the way upto a tool chain. As an example, please see the configuration of an 64-core TILExpress64 board from Tilera. http://www.tilera.com/products/boards.php Hope this helps. thanks Saifi.
