Board Support Packages

Hi group,



What are board support packages?are they similar to BIOS,since they act like a bridge between OS and hardware?How does a BSP work.?Someone please clarify on this..



regards Jayanthi



Yes. But that is about the only similarity. A basic BSP consists of board startup code and device drivers.

It differs per architecture. Usually you use the OS device driver interface to talk to the devices, configure the system to start the BSP processes and you compile and link the BSP with the kernel.
