The level <boards> describes a development board that is the subject of a Board Support Pack (BSP). It contains information about the board vendor and name, a brief description, images to be displayed on web pages, and different types of documentation. The microcontroller devices that are mounted on the board or that are compatible with the ones mounted are also specified. A list of features concludes the <boards> section.

A development board is described by the following properties:

description: a brief description of the development board
book: documentation about the board (user manuals, schematics, etc.)
mountedDevice: the microcontroller device mounted on the development board.
compatibleDevice: compatible microcontroller devices.
mountedPart: a part (any device other than the MCU) mounted on the development board.
image: pictures of the board to be displayed on web pages.
feature: categorized list of the development board's features and peripherals.
debugInterface: describing the debug capabilities.
debugProbe: describing the on-board debug probe.
memory: additional memory provided by the board
algorithm: additional flash programming algorithms for the board-specific memory
environment: tool specific settings

/package/boards/board/mountedDevice

The element specifies the devices mounted on the board. Exactly one device must be specified per deviceIndex. In case no device is mounted on the board, like in the case of the daughter boards (called also expansion or extension boards), the Dvendor and Dname attributes shall be set respectively to "NO_VENDOR:0" and "NO_MCU".

Example

Parent	Chain

Attributes	Description	Type	Use
deviceIndex	Index number of the device (in case more than one device is present on the board).	xs:string	optional
Dvendor	Is the name of vendor of the device specified by Dname. Use predefined values as listed in the table Device Vendor. If no device is mounted on the board, use predefined value "NO_VENDOR:0".	DeviceVendorEnum	required
Dname	Is the name of the target device used on the board. If the device is specified by a variant this string needs to be assigned to the Dname attribute. If no device is mounted on the board, use value "NO_MCU".	xs:string	required

/package/boards/board/compatibleDevice

This element contains information about devices that are compatible to the device used on the board. Compatible means that the user is able to generate code for compatible devices and test it on the development board. At least one compatible device must be specified. In case no compatible device exists for the device mounted on the board or if no device is mounted on the board, like in the case of the daughter boards (called also expansion or extension boards), the Dvendor and Dname attributes shall be set respectively to "NO_VENDOR:0" and "NO_MCU".

Example

Since Dfamily and DsubFamily are volatile, it is recommended to use Dname attribute with wild-cards.

Pname	Processor identifier. This attribute is for boards that use devices with multiple processors. Only alphabetical characters, decimal digits, '-' and '_' are allowed.	RestrictedString	optional
name	Unique name of the memory to be used in conjunction with access. If a memory with the same name is already defined in a parent scope, the parent one is extended/overwritten.

access	Access permission of the memory. See MemoryAccessTypeString for details.	MemoryAccessTypeString	optional
start	Base address of the memory using a hexadecimal value.	NonNegativeInteger	required
size	Size of the memory in bytes using a hexadecimal value.	NonNegativeInteger	required
