In Platform Builder for Windows Embedded CE 6.0, you can add a third-party board support package (BSP) to the Catalog by using the Catalog Editor to add the BSP to a new or an existing Catalog (.pbcxml) file. For information about creating a Catalog file, see Using the Catalog Editor to Create a Catalog File.

After you have added the BSP to the Catalog file, you can import the Catalog item into the Catalog. For information about adding a Catalog item to the Catalog, see Adding a Catalog Item to the Catalog.

Adding a BSP to a new Catalog file

  1. Create a Catalog file in the Catalog Editor.

    For more information about using the Catalog Editor, see Using the Catalog Editor to Create a Catalog File.

  2. In the Catalog Editor, from the Catalog Editor toolbar, select Add, and then from the menu, select BSP.

    When you select BSP, Platform Builder creates an empty Catalog item object under the Third Party folder.

  3. In the Properties pane of the Catalog Editor, you can now view and modify the metadata for the BSP that you are adding to the Catalog file.

    For information about modifying the metadata for the BSP, see Using the Catalog Editor to Edit an Existing Catalog File.

Adding a BSP to an existing Catalog file

  1. Open a Catalog file by, from the File menu, selecting Open and then selecting File. In the Open File dialog box, navigate to the file that you want to open and then select Open.

    Platform Builder displays the selected Catalog file in the Catalog Editor.

  2. Select the node to which you want to add the BSP. You can choose to add the BSP to either a BSP or a Core OS node.

  3. From the Catalog Editor toolbar, select Add, and then from the menu, select BSP.

    • If you want to add the BSP to an existing BSP node, the vendor for the BSP must be the same as the vendor for the existing BSP.
    • If you want to add the BSP to a Core OS node, the vendor for the Core OS must be the same as the vendor for the Catalog item file.
      The BSP is specific to the selected Core OS.
    • If you want to add the BSP to a subfolder, you must select a name for the subfolder that you create to contain the BSP.

    When you select BSP, Platform Builder creates an empty Catalog item object in the location that you have specified.

  4. In the Properties pane of the Catalog Editor, you can now view and modify the metadata for the BSP that you are adding to the Catalog file.
