3.4.4.3. BSP Drivers Tab

The BSP Drivers tab allows you to select, enable, and disable drivers for devices in your system, and control driver settings.

At the top of the BSP Drivers tab is the driver table, mapping components in the hardware system to drivers. The driver table shows components with driver support. Each component has a module name, module version, module class name, driver name, and driver version, determined by the contents of the hardware system. The table allows you to select the driver by name and version, as well as to enable or disable each driver.

Figure 5. BSP Drivers Tab

When you select a driver version, all instances of that driver in the BSP are set to the version you select. Only one version of a given driver can be used in an individual BSP.

Many drivers define settings that you can control in your BSP. Available driver settings appear in a tree structure below the driver table, 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 device drivers, changing drivers and driver versions, and editing driver settings, can have a profound impact on BSP behavior. Refer to the relevant component documentation and driver information for details.
