Re: Howto implement catalog feature dependency?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi,

Yes I see, thanks. What about my own BSP features?
I'd like somehow to create dependency for my own
BSP features too. Lets say for example user
inserted the "Backlight Support" feature from the BSP.
This requre the PWM driver to be added as well.
Ho do I create a dependency of "Backlight Support" and
"PWM Driver"? Up to now I have a tutorial on howto
use BSP, what features must be added to the OS design
etc. However some of my customers are getting me nuts,
I spent a lot of time for support because something
"is not working" cause they forget to include some
required features to the OS design. So I need a way
to create a dependency between the BSP features.
