6.14.2. Overriding HAL Functions

HAL source files are copied to your BSP directory when you create your BSP. If you regenerate a BSP, any HAL source files that differ from the installation files are copied. Avoid modifying BSP files. To override default HAL code, use BSP settings, or custom device drivers or software packages.

For more information about what happens when you regenerate a BSP, refer to Revising your BSP.

Note: Avoid modifying HAL source files. If you modify a HAL source file, you cannot regenerate the BSP without losing your changes. This makes it difficult to keep the BSP coordinated with changes to the underlying hardware system.
