4.5. Revising Your BSP

Your BSP is customized to your hardware design and your software requirements. If your hardware design or software requirements change, you usually need to revise your BSP.

Every BSP is based on a Nios V processor in a hardware system. The BSP settings file does not duplicate information available in the .qsys file, but it does contain system-dependent settings that reference system information. Because of these system-dependent settings, a BSP settings file can become inconsistent with its system if the system changes.

You can revise a BSP at several levels. This section describes each level and guides when to use it.
