Host-Target Environment
These diagrams provide an overview of the setup. A complete list of prerequisites and setup steps are specified later in this guide.
For the SBL step, recommended environment consists of Linux* machine, the target system, Windows* machine, and DediProg* software.
NOTE:
This setup is applicable for the Intel’s Reference Validation Platform (RVP) or Customer Reference Board (CRB). If you are using an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or Original Device Manufacturer (ODM) board, work with your BIOS Vendor or contact an Intel Representative.
Setup for Board Support Package (BSP) Build
For the BSP step, the recommended environment consists of a host system powerful enough to build an OS and a target system for deployment.
The host system is a Linux* machine with high core count and RAM.
The target system is a reference implementation, consisting of a supported Intel® hardware platform and Slim Bootloader (SBL). You will install the BSP image.
Setup for Intel® TCC Tools
For Intel® TCC Tools, Intel recommends a host system for development tasks and a target system for application deployment and execution.
The host system is a Linux* machine, which can be the same as the build host or a separate, less powerful machine.
On the target system where you installed the BSP image, you will install Intel® TCC Tools.
