Re: BSP and the kernel

Hi Arun,

Generally, the BSP stands for Board Support Package.
 
The elements that are contained in the BSP are 
1) Boot Loader 
2) OEM Adaptation Layer (OAL)
3) Device Drivers
4) Configuration Files
 
--> Boot Loader downloads the OS images in to the target board
--> OAL links the kernel image and supports hardware initialization and management.
--> Device Drivers supports on board peripherals OR peripherals that are attached to the board at run time
--> Configuration Files are created to configure the BSP environment variables.

I hope, this helps you.

Regards,
Srinivas G.

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