Build the BSP (commandline)

Makefile targets in the BSP

The Makefile is located under the $BSP_ROOT_DIR/images directory. It defines more than one target:

all

Builds the QNX IFS for the target.

ifs-rpi5.bin

Builds the IFS file used by the Raspberry bootloader and specified in the config.txt file.

If you don't specify a target, make invokes the all target.

Build from the commandline

To build the BSP on your host system, in a Command Prompt window (Windows) or a terminal (Linux), you must first build at the root directory of the BSP (BSP_ROOT_DIR), then you can build using the Makefile targets described previously in the $BSP_ROOT_DIR/images directory. To build your BSP, perform the following steps:

1. Download the BSP archive, unzip it, and set up your environment to build. For more information, see Download and set up the BSP.
2. In the BSP's images directory ($BSP_ROOT_DIR/images), type make clean to remove the default image files from the $BSP_ROOT_DIR/images directory.

    cd $BSP_ROOT_DIR
    cd images
    make clean

   This action removes all existing image files.

3. Navigate back to the BSP_ROOT_DIR and type make. Running make does the following:
   • builds the BSP and creates its directories
   • places any images required for the board into the $BSP_ROOT_DIR/images directory

 cd $BSP_ROOT_DIR
 make

You should now have an IFS file called ifs-rpi5.bin.
