Configuring a Standalone BSP Domain

There are several kinds of domains. The standalone BSP is the most commonly used domain. To configure a standalone BSP, perform the following steps.

  1. From the Explorer, double-click platform.spr file and select the appropriate domain/board support package. The overview page opens.
  2. In the overview page, click Modify BSP Settings.

Using the Board Support Package Overview Page

Using the Overview page, you can select the OS Version and which of the Supported Libraries are to be enabled in this domain/BSP.



Note: You cannot change the OS choice in this page, because the OS type was determined during the software platform creation.

Using the Board Support Package Settings Page

The Board Support Package settings page enables you to configure parameters of the OS and its constituent libraries.
Note: Options for only the libraries that you enabled in the Overview page will be visible. Options for the OS/standalone supported peripherals, that are present in the hardware platform, are also shown on the page.

Using the Board Support Package Drivers Page

The Drivers page lists all the device drivers assigned for each peripheral in your system. You can select each peripheral and change its default device driver assignment and its version. If you want to remove a driver for a peripheral, assign the driver to none.

Some device drivers export parameters that you can configure. If a device in the driver list has parameters, it is listed in navigation pane on the left and you can access them by clicking on the device name.

Using the Board Support Package Settings Driver Configuration Page

The Driver Configuration page lists all of the configurable driver parameters for the device selected under the drivers entry on the left. To change a parameter, click on the corresponding Value field and type the new setting.

When you finish with all the settings you want to make, click OK. The Vitis software platform re-generates the domain/BSP sources.

If the Build All option is selected in the Project menu, Vitis software platform automatically rebuilds your target platform with your new settings applied.

Note: The exact list of software components appearing in the Board Support Package Settings dialog box depends on the components available in your Vitis software platform install, as well as the list of components found in any software repositories that are set up in your workspace. For more information about how repositories work, see Vitis Utilities.
