13.5.4.5. create_os

Usage

create_os <name>

Options

  • <name>: Name of operating system (BSP type).

Description

This command creates a new operating system (OS) instance (also known as a BSP type) available for the Nios® V processor BSP tools. This command must precede all others that describe the OS in its Tcl script. You can only have one create_os command in each Tcl script. If the create_os command appears in the Tcl script, the create_driver or create_sw_package commands cannot appear.

The name argument is usually distinct from all other operating systems that the Nios® V processor tools might locate. You can specify an OS name identical to OS if the OS you are describing has a unique version number assignment.

This command is required, unless you use the create_driver or create_sw_package commands, as appropriate.
