3.1.2. Nios® V Processor Software Build Tools

The Nios® V processor software build tools are a collection of command-line utilities. These tools allow you to build a BSP project and an application project to create an application image. You can invoke these tools in the RiscFree* IDE using External Tools Configurations.

The BSP project is a parameterizable library, customized for the hardware capabilities and peripherals in your system. When you create a BSP library file from the BSP project, you create it with a specific set of parameter values.

The application project consists of your application source files and the application CMakeLists.txt. The source files refer to the services provided by the BSP library file.
