Summary: An extensive discussion of the components that comprise a BSP that you must develop, like bootloaders, an OAL, KITL, and device drivers, as well as tips on writing a BSP that can be quickly commercialized, is secure, performance optimized, and power efficient.

1. What is a BSP?
* BSP Bootloader
* BSP IPL and ULDR
* BSP OAL – what is shared between Bootloader
* BSP Drivers
* KITL
2. Production Quality Drivers
3. Production Quality OAL – benefits of adhering to this model, directory structure.
4. Features of a Commercialization Ready BSP

5. Writing a code secure BSP
* Threat Modeling
* Secure Boot

6. Writing a Performance optimized BSP (24524)
* Performance optimized OAL
* Performance optimized Drivers
* Writing and running a performance test

7. Writing a Power Efficient BSP (24526)
* Get your tiny kernel to the lowest power state early in development. Then make sure each new driver does not negatively impact power before it is checked in.
* Scenarios around PM testing states to get in. running media. Voip.
* Scenarios around suspend/resume – how drivers work.
* Writing Power-Efficient Drivers
* Measuring Power Management

8. Required IOCTLs
* CE required OAL IOCTL list
* WM required OAL IOCTL list
