Click on Browse... > Board Support Package (BSP). BSP location is generated by Efinity when you
generate the Sapphire High-Performance SoC with the IP Manager. Example
BSP location: C:/<project name>/embedded_sw/<ip
name>/bsp/.
Note: If the Efinity RISC-V Embedded
software IDE is launched from the IDE Launcher in Efinity software v2025.1 and later, the BSP location is automatically
detected.
Select FreeRTOS, browse to the
FreeRTOS kernel location. By default, the kernel
location is pointing to the FreeRTOS that comes with package.
The new project location shows up.
Click Finish.

generated if hard TAP is selected for the Sapphire High-Performance SoC.
While softTap.launch and
softTap_mc.launch is generated if soft Tap is
selected.
