Creating a new BSP?

I have the Olimex LPC1766-STK, which is amazingly similar to the IAR KSK-LPC1768, with the exception of the microcontroller (1766 vs. 1768).

Crossworks has a BSP for the IAR board, but not the Olimex board.  I've installed the IAR BSP, and have (mostly) tweaked it to support the Olimex board, but would like to make it a complete BSP (with proper solution names, etc, etc).  I'd like to do this to A) make it available for free for others if they need it, and B) because I'm a bit obsessive about getting things completely migrated. :)

Is there a guide/instructions for making a BSP?

Thanks!

Robert

  It is fairly easy for us to build a renamed version of the IAR LPC1768 KickStart support package with a different processor therefore I'll save you the trouble and put this together.

  To answer your question, you use the mkpkg tool to create packages - documentation for this tool can be found at http://www.rowleydownload.co.uk/documentation/arm_2_0/mkpkg.htm

  Very cool!  Thanks, Jon, for both the link, and creating the new BSP.  I'm still verifying, but as far as I can tell the boards are identical, other than the processor.  If I find any other differences that need changes in the BSP I'll provide feedback.

   

  Thanks!

  The boards are identical apart from the processor.  Straight from the horse's mouth...
