Understanding the Role of a Linux BSP A Linux Board Support Package (BSP) is a critical software layer that enables the Linux kernel to operate on specific embedded hardware. It includes bootloaders, device drivers, and configuration files tailored for a board’s processor and peripherals, such as I2C, SPI, or GPIO. Tools like Yocto and Buildroot simplify BSP creation by providing frameworks to customize kernels and filesystems. The BSP ensures hardware initialization and compatibility, reducing development time for applications in IoT, automotive, and consumer electronics. Without a Linux BSP, developers face manual integration challenges, delaying product launches. A robust BSP is foundational...
