SoC Embedded Design Suite User Guide Does Not Describe All Required BSP Generation Arguments

Description

In the Altera SoC Embedded Design Suite User Guide, the following command-line tools are documented improperly:

• bsp-create-settings
• bsp-update-settings

For bsp-create-settings, the user guide states that the parameter --preloader-settings-dir is optional; but it is required. Also for bsp-update-settings, it states that --preloader-settings-dir is a valid parameter; but it is not. Using the parameters as documented will cause a build error.

Resolution

The workaround for bsp-create-settings is to use the following required parameters:

• --type
• --settings
• --preloader-settings-dir

and the following optional parameters:

• --bsp-dir
• --set

The workaround for bsp-update-settings is to use the following required parameter:

• --settings

and the following optional parameters:

• --bsp-dir
• --set

Do not use --preloader-settings-dir with bsp-update-settings.
