Usage
nios2-bsp <bsp-type> <bsp-dir> [<sopc>] [<override>]...
Options
• <bsp-type>: hal or ucosii.
• <bsp-dir>: Path to the BSP directory.

Description
The nios2-bsp script calls nios2-bsp-create-settings or nios2-bsp-update-settings to create or update a
BSP settings file, and the nios2-bsp-generate-files command to create the BSP files. The Nios II
Embedded Design Suite (EDS) supports the following BSP types:
• hal

BSP type names are case-insensitive.
This utility produces a BSP of <bsp-type> in <bsp-dir>. If the BSP does not exist, it is created. If the BSP
already exists, it is updated to be consistent with the associated hardware system.
