Embedded Board Support Package

Question

As I understand it, BSP (board support package) contains a bootloader, kernel and device driver that help the OS run on HW. But I'm confused because the OS also contains a kernel. So what is the difference between a kernel in an OS and a kernel in a BSP?

Answer 1

What BSP consists of depends on the context; In general, this is code or libraries to support a particular board design. This can be provided as a general code from the board vendor for use in the system without failures or for integration with the OS, or it may be specific to a particular OS, or may even contain an OS. In any case, it provides support for a specific board for higher-level software.
