Note: ⁽¹⁾ BSP packs (suffixed with "_BSP") include both board support and device definitions, eliminating the need for a separate Device Family Pack (DFP).

Software Layers

The AVH_FVP pack provides board support layers for Corstone FVP platforms in the board/ folder. Each board layer includes hardware-specific configurations, drivers, and setup for running applications on FVP simulation models.

Folder	Description
`./board/Corstone-300`	Board layer for Corstone-300 FVP with optional Ethos-U55/U65
`./board/Corstone-310`	Board layer for Corstone-310 FVP with optional Ethos-U55/U65
`./board/Corstone-315`	Board layer for Corstone-315 FVP with optional Ethos-U65
`./board/Corstone-320`	Board layer for Corstone-320 FVP with optional Ethos-U85

Each folder contains a README with implementation details and multiple CSolution layer files (*.clayer.yml) that configure different hardware variants. The postfix in the *.clayer.yml filename determines the Ethos-U NPU configuration:

Layer File	NPU Configuration	Description
`Board.clayer.yml`	None	Cortex-M system only, no Ethos-U NPU
`Board-U55.clayer.yml`	Ethos-U55	Cortex-M system + Ethos-U55 NPU (256 MACs)
`Board-U65.clayer.yml`	Ethos-U65	Cortex-M system + Ethos-U65 NPU
`Board-U85.clayer.yml`	Ethos-U85	Cortex-M system + Ethos-U85 NPU
