How to handle the case where a specific BSP requires different adaptions for different platforms which aren't required in another BSP? Nevertheless the documentation is misleading/wrong (4.1.2): > One location is the project’s currently used platform directory.

This clearly states that the platform has priority over BSP/project. Best regards, Alexander -- Dipl.-Inf.
