BSP directory structure

The information below should help you find files you need in a BSP.

BSP directories

When a BSP is extracted from its zip file, it is organized into the following directories:

bsp_base_dir/image: Directory for the QNX IFS, which is the image suitable for running on the target device. Any other related binaries (such as an IPL or combined IPL/IFS image) are also created in this directory. In addition, the generated IFS buildfile will also reside in this directory after the BSP builds. By default, this directory also contains a prebuilt OS image.
bsp_base_dir/install: Location to which the contents of the bsp_base_dir/prebuilt directory are copied when a BSP is built. Any binaries generated as a result of building the BSP source (contained in the BSP's bsp_base_dir/src directory) are also copied to the bsp_base_dir/install directory. (The mkifs utility will gather its content from the deployment directory and its subdirectories.)
bsp_base_dir/prebuilt: Various header files necessary for building the source components of the BSP, as well as prebuilt binaries or libraries whose source code is not included with the BSP.
bsp_base_dir/src: The source code for device drivers, libraries, and utilities.

Location of key files

After you build the BSP, you'll find key files in the following locations, where $BSP_ROOT_DIR is the name of the directory you extracted the BSP archive in, and $CPU_VARIANT is the CPU architecture for which the BSP is designed (e.g., armle-v7 or x86):

File(s)	Location
Buildfile (core OS)	$BSP_ROOT_DIR/images
IPL	$BSP_ROOT_DIR/install/$CPU_VARIANT/boot/sys Note: The files in this location are generated only when you run mkflashimage.
Libraries (DLL drivers), such as audio, graphics, and network	$BSP_ROOT_DIR/install/$CPU_VARIANT/lib/dll Note: The files in this location are generated only when you compile the libraries.
Generic header files (not architecture-specific)	$BSP_ROOT_DIR/install/usr/include
Source code for different drivers (sbin drivers), such as serial, flash, block, PCI, PCMCIA, and USB	$BSP_ROOT_DIR/install/$CPU_VARIANT/sbin
