BSP and the kernel

[Srinivas Ganji]

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.
