2.3.4.2. The Software Packages Tab

The Software Packages tab allows you to insert and remove software packages in your BSP, and control software package settings.

At the top of the Software Packages tab is the software package table, listing each available software package. The table allows you to select the software package version, and enable or disable the software package.

The operating system determines which software packages are available.

Many software packages define settings that you can control in your BSP. When you enable a software package, the available settings appear in a tree structure, organized into Common and Advanced settings.

When you select a group of settings, the controls for those settings appear in the pane to the right of the tree. When you select a single setting, the pane shows the setting control, the full setting name, and the setting description.

Enabling and disabling software packages and editing software package settings can have a profound impact on BSP behavior. Refer to the documentation for the specific software package for details.
