3.4.8. BSP Validation Errors

If you modify a hardware system after basing a BSP on it, some BSP settings might no longer be valid. This is a very common cause of BSP validation errors. Eliminating these errors usually requires correcting a large number of interrelated settings.

If your modifications to the underlying hardware design result in BSP validation errors, the best practice is to update or recreate the BSP. Updating and recreating BSPs is very easy with the BSP Editor.

If you recreate your BSP, you might find it helpful to capture your old BSP settings by exporting them to a Tcl script. You can edit the Tcl script to remove any settings that are incompatible with the new hardware design.
