BSP Environment Variables

BSP environment variables define the level of optional support available with a platform. There are two categories of variables:

  • BSP variables, which you use to choose a default driver implementation for each class of device.

    For example, if your platform contains a Permedia3 display controller as a default, set BSP_DISPLAY_PERM3 = 1 in your platform's Project.bib file.

    For more information, see Platform Configuration Files and Binary Image Builder File.

  • BSP_NO variables, which you use to define options not supported by a BSP or platform.

    For more information, see BSP_NO Environment Variables.

The environment variables in the following table allow you to set variables to add support for components. In some cases the Platform.bib file for a platform might need to be updated to support a flag.

In general, you do not need to build your platform when updating the setting for a BSP environment variable because these settings are handled during the Make Image phase of the build process.

The following table lists BSP environment variables.

This variable is specific to the Geode platform.

BSP_KEYBD_ATSCAN Set this variable if you are using the Microsoft Natural Internet Keyboard.

This variable is specific to the Eagle platform.

BSP_KEYBD_JPN1 Selects the Japanese1 keyboard/mouse driver. When LOCALE = 0411 and this variable is not set, you select the Japanese2 keyboard and mouse driver.
