Build the BSP (commandline)

Build from the commandline

To build the BSP on your host system, in a Command Prompt window (Windows) or a terminal (Linux), 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 in the Installation Notes chapter.
2. Navigate to the $BSP_ROOT_DIR directory. If you want to remove all prebuilt IFS images and re-build them later, run make clean:

   $ cd $BSP_ROOT_DIR
   $ make clean
                       

   Note:

   If you run the make clean command, it removes all prebuilt IFS images.
3. Run make command in the BSP_ROOT_DIR. When you run make, it does the following:
   • copy the prebuilt directory to install directory;
   • copy header files to install directory;
   • build the source files in this BSP;
   • build the IFS images if they are removed in previous step.
   Note:

   No buildfile is generated. The buildfiles are preloaded in the $BSP_ROOT_DIR/images/IPC-FP6, and $BSP_ROOT_DIR/images/VPR-5050A directories.

   $ make
                       

4. If you changed any source file in this BSP, you need navigate to the directory that include the source file you've changed, and run make install command to rebuild the new code and copy it to the install directory, for example, you've updated the x86 startup code:

   $ cd src/hardware/startup/boards/x86
   $ make install
                       

   Note:

   If you run the make install command, it would build and copy the new binary to the install directory.

You should now have IFS files called images/IPC-FP6/x86_64-ryzen-uefi.efi, and images/VPR-5050A/x86_64-ryzen-uefi.efi.
