This topic explains how to build just the board support package (BSP) files instead of building the entire OS design. You can build just the BSP if you have not changed any catalog items or SYSGEN variables in your OS design.

Methods for building a BSP

You can build the BSP from Platform Builder or from the command line. There is no functional difference between these two methods.

To build a BSP from Platform Builder

  1. In Platform Builder, open an OS design project that contains the BSP you want to build.

  2. On the Build menu, select Advanced Build Settings.

  3. Chose on of the following methods:

    • If this is the first time that you are building this BSP, select Sysgen. After Sysgen has finished running, select Build current BSP and Subprojects.
    • If you have built this BSP before, select Rebuild current BSP and Subprojects.

To build a BSP from the command line

  1. Open a command window.

  2. Change the command path to the root folder for the BSP you want to build. By default, Platform Builder creates the BSP root folders under %_WINCEROOT%\platform.

  3. Chose on of the following methods:

    • If this is the first time that you are building this BSP, at the command prompt, type blddemo -q to sysgen the OS design. After Sysgen has finished running, at the command prompt, type build –c to run a clean build of the BSP folder.
    • If you have built this BSP before, at the command prompt, type build –c to run a clean build of the BSP folder.
