BSP Environment Variables (Windows CE 5.0)

BSP environment variables define the level of optional support available with a board support package (BSP).

There are two categories of BSP environment variables:

The environment variables in the following table allow you to set variables to add support for components. In some cases the Platform.bib file for a target device might need to be updated to support a flag. In general, you do not need to rebuild your OS design when updating the setting for a BSP environment variable because these settings are handled during the Make Image phase of the build process.

The following table shows BSP environment variables and their descriptions.

Environment variable Description
BSP_CREDSVC_IN_DEVICE Enables the credential manager and sets it for operation in Devices.exe, even if the OS design includes Services.exe.
BSP_DISPLAY_RAGEXL Adds the ATI display driver, Ddi_ragexl.dll, to the configuration.
BSP_DISPLAY_FLAT Adds the FLAT display driver, Ddi_flat.dll, to the configuration.
BSP_DISPLAY_MQ200 Adds the MQ200 display driver, Ddi_mq200.dll.
BSP_DISPLAY_NOP Adds the stub display driver, Ddi_nop.dll, to the configuration.
BSP_DISPLAY_RFLAT Adds the rotated-FLAT display driver, Ddi_rflat.dll
BSP_DISPLAY_S3V Adds the S3 Virge Display Driver.
BSP_ICS Adds Internet Connection Sharing support.

This variable is specific to the Geode hardware platform.

BSP_NIC_DC21X4 Adds the DEC21140 NDIS miniport driver.
BSP_NIC_DP83815 Adds the DP83815 (MacPhyter) NDIS miniport driver.
BSP_NIC_E100BEX Adds the Intel i8259 NIC driver.
BSP_NIC_ISLP2NDS_PCMCIA Adds the Intersil miniport driver.
BSP_NIC_NE2000_ISA Adds the ISA NE2000 NIC driver.
BSP_NIC_NE2000_PCI Adds the PCI NE2000 NIC driver.
BSP_NIC_NE2000_PCMCIA Adds the PCMCIA NE2000 NIC driver.
BSP_NIC_PCX500_PCMCIA Adds the Cisco miniport driver, which supports the Cisco Aironet 340/350 series.
BSP_NIC_RTL8139 Adds the RTL8139 NIC driver.
BSP_NIC_RTL8180 Adds Nativewifi RTL8180 wireless support and sets it to AP mode.
BSP_NIC_RTL8180_STA Adds Nativewifi RTL8180 wireless support and sets it to the default STA mode.
BSP_NIC_XIRCCE2_PCMCIA Adds the XIRCOM miniport driver.
BSP_NOTIFY_IN_DEVICE Enables the notification subsystem engine for operation in Device.exe.

By default, if this variable is not set and Services.exe is included in the OS design, the engine runs in Services.exe.

BSP_PCCARDATADISK Uses Atapi.dll instead of Atadisk.dll for ATA cards.
BSP_SDHC_ELLEN Assigns the standard SDIO host controller to the TE4370 Evaluation Board.
