Hi

Most professional written application are separated into application and BSP where BSP - (board support packge,low level driver software) and application can became a simple running main routine or an RTOS(Real Time Operating System)

It is the best way to write a software and to maintain it


from my point of view a good maintaind BSP is a very hard work to do since the programmer must have a good knowledge in hardware as well as software


All the best

Board support package level provides HW dependent services to upper SW levels. Consider it like a VGA card driver in windows.

Application uses the services/routines provided by BSP to access HW.

Both of them important.
