How to create BSP?

[scottlarson]

How can I create a BSP that I can reference from multiple projects?

For example, I created a hello_world project for the imxrt1050evkb board and I've just been copying that for the rest of my projects. This duplicates all of the CMSIS, board, component, device, drivers, etc files and folders. See below screenshot of two projects expanded:

I'd just like one BSP that I can reference with each project. How can I do this?

I found the New Board SDK Wizard, but that doesn't seem to be creating a BSP with all these files in it...

Thanks!

I won't worry about it now. I'll keep in the NXP way.

Hi Scott Larson,

Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products and for the opportunity to serve you.
Unfortunately, until now, the SDK library hasn't provided the BSP as you want to.

Have a great day,

Jeremy, you're saying that the BSP needs to be replicated in each project (and waste a bunch of storage on my machine) rather than exist and compile into a separate library? Why? Every other manufacturer provides a tidy little BSP library. Even IAR has a library for this rt1050evkb:

Hi Scott Larson,

Thanks for your reply.
In my opinion, the SDK library is designed to provide the complete code for the developer and allows them to customize and optimize the code.
In further, it doesn't need a copy of the code of board support and peripheral driver for each project actually, these demo projects can contain these common codes via adding the path.
In the MCUXpresso, it will contain a complete code when importing the demo project from the SDK library, I think this mechanism may confuse you and make you suspect it needs to replicate the common code for each project.

Have a great day,
TIC
