  2. Create a working directory for your hardware and software projects. The following steps refer to this directory as <projects>.
  3. Make <projects> the current working directory.
  4. Create a Nios® V processor hardware example corresponding to your Intel® FPGA development board. You can refer to the Nios V Processor Design Example Scripts.
  5. Create and build the BSP with niosv-bsp --create command:
    niosv-bsp --create --qsys=<Platform Designer system> --type=<os name> settings.bsp
