Re: BSP and the kernel

BSP stands for board support package....so it'll contain stuff to make the kernel run on that specific h/w (eg: header files detailing the memory map of the attached devices etc.).

If you have a builtin driver for the attached h/w, then yes, that code will be compiled into your vmlinux image. If its a module then it might be outside, depending on whether you've put in some sort of rootfs or not.

Does the BSP has any role to play in the kernel build process.
is the Image "Vmlinux" dependent on BSP in any way?
