9.1 Introduction<br />

Reference documentation for Wind River board support packages (<strong>BSP</strong>s) consists<br />

of UNIX-style reference entries (formerly known as man pages) for the module<br />

sysLib.c and the file target.nr. Documentation in HTML format is generated from<br />

these files using the Wind River tool refgen. During a <strong>BSP</strong> build, make runs refgen<br />

and places the HTML output in the Tornado/VxWorks docs directory. The<br />

resulting reference pages can be displayed online with an HTML browser.<br />

This chapter covers Wind River conventions for style and format, and the<br />

procedures for generating <strong>BSP</strong> documentation. The <strong>BSP</strong> templates supplied with<br />

the VxWorks <strong>BSP</strong> Developer’s Kit provide examples of the writing style, text<br />

format, module layout, and text commands discussed throughout this chapter.<br />

Modules formatted with the conventions discussed here will be compatible with<br />

all Wind River documentation macros and formatting scripts, should your <strong>BSP</strong> be<br />

turned over to Wind River for distribution.<br />

9.2 Written Style<br />

This section describes a few of the general requirements for written style in Wind<br />

River technical publications. The items below are only a portion of the standards<br />

described in Wind River’s style guide, but are chosen for inclusion here based on<br />

their frequent misuse.<br />
