Re: Using ACATS for BSP check

[wv9557@yahoo.com (Will)]

BSP: board support package (in Wind River parlance.) Basically
a BSP comprises the VxWorks core compiled  for your particular processor
plus a set of common drivers. 
Intel DX386 libraries + Ethernet drivers + VGA driver is an example of a BSP.
Power PC libraries + driver for Intel switch silicon is another BSP,
etc...
