Packaging the entire system after compilation and linking is required for embedded processor platforms. Packaging the system generates the SD card and necessary flash images that helps boot the system prior to running HW Emulation. The packaging for HW Emulation requires target to be set v++ -p -t hw_emu. For designs that use base platforms prepared for Embedded Development Framework (EDF), but does not have EDF as default flow (like VRK160 boards), you need to set --advanced.param package.enableEdfHwEmu=1 when packaging. This switch uses QEMU file sets and packaging outputs suitable for EDF. For VEK385, EDF flow is default and you do not need to set this additional parameter.
