4.5.1.1. What Happens

Regenerating a BSP has the following effects:
  • Reads the .qsys file for basic system parameters such as module base addresses and clock frequencies.
  • Adjusts the default memory map to correspond to changes in memory sizes. If you are using a custom memory map, it is untouched.
  • Retains all other existing settings in the BSP settings file.
    Note: Except for adjusting the default memory map, the BSP Editor does not ensure that the BSP settings are consistent with the hardware design in the .qsys file.
  • Ensures that the correct set of BSP files is present, as follows:
    • Copy all required source files to the BSP directory tree.

      If a copied file (such as a HAL source file) already exists, the BSP Editor checks the file timestamp against the timestamp of the file in the Intel Quartus Prime software installation directory. The tools do not replace the BSP file unless it differs from the distribution file.

    • Recreates all generated files.
