Xilinx MicroBlaze Board Support Packages 2020.1 x64 (Linux)

Xilinx, Inc., the leader in adaptive and intelligent computing, is pleased to announce the availability of MicroBlaze Board Support Packages 2020.1 is a collection of libraries and drivers that will form the lowest layer of your application software stack.

Board Support Package (BSP) is the collective term referring to all of the software components required to match a given operating system (and its environment) to a given hardware design (board). BSPs commonly contain low-level operating system and device driver code that is dependent on the hardware and upon which the rest of the operating system layers. In addition, a BSP might also contain other files containing directives, compilation parameters, and hardware parameters that are used to configure the operating system. Since a given Xilinx hardware platform is configurable, fixed board support packages are not possible. Therefore, a custom board support package must be generated for each hardware design that you create.

SDK can be used to create board support packages for third-party operating systems that are supported on the Xilinx processors. The board support package appears as a project in the SDK Navigator view. You can configure each BSP project in various ways and then run a BSP generation process. The BSP generation process typically ends with a collection of files generated in the workspace, which you must then take into the third-party environment to proceed with building the operating system and applications. The specifics of what files must be collected and how they must be used depends on the third-party operating system in question.
