How to create BSP project in VxWorks 7?


In older version VxWorks there was an option to create BSP project (in Workbench) by selecting "Boot loader/ BSP project" in projects section, but in VxWorks 7 there is no such option available.

Can some one please tell me how to create BSP project in VxWorks 7.


Solution

  • VxWorks BootApp image is created using a VxWorks Kernel Image project and the PROFILE_BOOTAPP in the Workbench Development Environment as follows:

    1. Right click the Project Explorer view and select New > Wind River Workbench
      Project.

    2. Select Kernel image from the build type drop-down list. Click Next to continue.

    3. In the Project name field, enter a name for the project. e.g. XXXX.

      Leave Create project in workspace selected and click Next to continue.

    4. On the Project Setup screen, choose the following settings using the drop-down lists:

      Based on : a source build project Project : XXXXX BSP : YOUR BSP Toolchain : gnu

    NOTE: The VxWorks BootApp requires a Uniprocessor (UP) source build project.

    Leave the other Options set to the defaults.

    Click Next.

    1. Select the PROFILE_BOOTAPP from the Profile drop down list.

    2. Click Finish to create the project.

    3. Right-click the new project in the Project Explorer and select:

      Build > Set Active Build Spec > default_romCompress.
