Description

The nios2-bsp-generate-files command populates the files in a BSP directory. The path to an existing .bsp file and the path to the BSP directory are mandatory command-line options. Files are written to the specified BSP directory. Generated files are created unconditionally. Copied files are copied from the Nios® II EDS installation folder only if they are not present in the BSP directory, or if the existing files differ from the installation files.

If no command-line arguments are specified, this command returns an exit value of 1 and sends a help message to stderr.

Note:

For more information about this command, use the --extended-help option to display comprehensive usage information.
