architecture dependent and which is common among different architectures.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.63636302947998px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.63636302947998px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">I'm currently going through the docs, especially the BSP How to Guide, given in the docs online for previous few days, but I've failed to grasp answers to the above questions.
