A Board Support Package (BSP) is a software layer containing hardware-specific drivers and other routines that enable an operating system (OS) to function on a particular hardware platform (i.e., a specific computer or embedded system board). It typically includes bootloaders, device drivers (for peripherals like UART, Ethernet, USB, etc.), and board-specific configuration information. BSPs are crucial for bridging the gap between a generic OS and the target hardware, allowing developers to write applications without directly dealing with low-level hardware details. They are commonly used in embedded systems, where hardware configurations vary widely.
