      - Before you begin
        Before you begin working with this BSP you should become familiar with the resources available to you when building QNX embedded systems.
      - About this BSP
        This chapter lists what's included in the BSP, the supported host system operating systems, and other relevant information to use this BSP.
      - Installation Notes
        These installation notes describe how to use this BSP to boot your board with the QNX OS.
      - Build the BSP
        You can use the QNX Momentics IDE or the commandline on Linux or Windows to build an image.
        Build the BSP (commandline)
        You can use the commandline on Linux or Windows to work with this BSP.
        Build the BSP (IDE)
        You can use the QNX Momentics IDE on Linux or Windows, to work with this BSP.
      - Configure the Screen Graphics Subsystem
        The default buildfile (kd240.build) that's provided with this BSP doesn't build an image that starts the Screen Graphics Subsystem (Screen). Instead, you must use the image that's built from the am62p-evm-graphics.build file, which starts Screen automatically.

Build the BSP (commandline)

You can use the commandline on Linux or Windows to work with this BSP.

Makefile targets in the BSP

The Makefile is located under the BSP's /images directory. It currently defines one target:

all: Invokes all targets(with and without graphics).
ifs-am62p-evm.raw: Builds the QNX IFS without graphics using the am62p-evm.build buildfile.
ifs-am62p-evm-graphics.raw: Builds the QNX IFS graphics using the am62p-evm-graphics.build buildfile.

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:

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 BSP's root directory (BSP_ROOT_DIR), type make clean to remove the default images files from the $BSP_ROOT_DIR/images directory.
```
cd $BSP_ROOT_DIR
cd images
make clean
```
This action removes all existing image files.
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-am62p-evm.raw in the $BSP_ROOT_DIR/images directory.

Note:

After you build, there might be multiple IFS files in the $BSP_ROOT_DIR/images directory if your Makefile builds multiple IFS files.
If you have modified any of the code and rebuilt the code, ensure that you run make install so that the updated binaries are copied to the $BSP_ROOT_DIR/install directory. Binaries in the $BSP_ROOT_DIR/install are used to build the images for the BSP. You should also do a make clean and make from the $BSP_ROOT_DIR/images directory to rebuid the IFS with the updated binaries.
We recommend that you use the make command to build your QNX IFS image. If you use the mkifs utility directly, ensure that you use the -r option to specify the location of the binaries.
