BSP
A Board Support Package (BSP) consists primarily of the hardware-specific
VxWorks code for a particular target board. A BSP includes facilities for
hardware initialization, interrupt handling and generation, hardware clock
and timer management, mapping of local and bus memory space, and so on.
BSPs also include project files that facilitate creation of projects for bootable
applications and custom VxWorks images. 2
Project Facility GUI
The main components of the project facility GUI are:
■
A project selection window, which allows you to begin creation of a new
project, or open an existing project.
■
An application wizard that guides you through creation of a new project.
■
A workspace window, which provides you with a view of projects, and the
files, VxWorks components, and build options that make them up. The
workspace window also provides access to commands for adding and deleting
project files, creating new projects, configuring VxWorks components,
defining builds, downloading object files, and so on.
■
A build toolbar, which provides access to all the major build commands.
As its name implies, the Workspace window provides the framework for the project
facility. The window displays information about projects files, VxWorks
components (if any), and build options in three tabbed views: Files, VxWorks, and
Builds (Figure 4-1).
The workspace allows you to:
■
Display information about the files, VxWorks components, and build options
that make up a project, or set of projects.
■
■
■
■
■
Add, open for editing, compile, and delete source code files.
Download applications to the target.
Scale and customize VxWorks by adding and deleting components, as well as
display component dependencies and view object sizes.
Specify and modify one or more builds for a project, display detailed build
information, and modify build options.
Add, delete, rename, or build a project.
