12.5.4.6. create_sw_package

Usage

create_sw_package <name>

Options

  • <name>: Name of the software package.

Description

This command creates a new software package instance available for the Nios® V processor BSP Editor. This command must precede all others that describe the software package in its Tcl script. You can only have one create_sw_package command in each Tcl script. If the create_sw_package command appears in the Tcl script, the create_driver or create_os commands cannot appear.

The name argument is usually distinct from all other device drivers and software packages that the Nios® V processor tools might locate. You can specify a name identical to another software package if the software package you are describing has a unique version number assignment.

If your software package differs for different operating systems, you need to provide a unique name for each BSP type.

This command is required, unless you use the create_driver or create_os commands, as appropriate.
