This section describes the Microprocessor Library Definition (MLD) format, Platform Specification Format 2.1.0. An MLD file contains directives for customizing software libraries and generating Board Support Packages (BSP) for Operating Systems (OS). This document describes the MLD format and the parameters that can be used to customize libraries and OSs.

Requirements

Each OS and library has an MLD file and a Tcl (Tool Command Language) file associated with it. The MLD file is used by the Tcl file to customize the OS or library, depending on different options in the MSS file. For more information on the MSS file format, see Microprocessor Software Specification (MSS). The OS and library source files and the MLD file for each OS and library must be located at specific directories to find the files and libraries.
