DSP/BIOS LINK Porting Guide outdated?

Hello,

while trying to port bios link to the powerpc platform (see here: http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/f/355/p/72327/269321.aspx#269321 ),  I arrived at "7. Build system" of the porting guide. It mentions:

 

The distribution file for a specific platform-OS combination can be found within the
DSPLINK installation at:
$(DSPLINK)/make/<$(GPPOS) | $(DSPOS)>
For example, the distribution file for the Davinci platform for Linux is:
$(DSPLINK)/make/Linux/davinci_mvlpro5.0.mk

Unfortunately, my dsplink directory contains only this:


in dsplink_1_63/dsplink/make:
$ ls -F   
DspBios/  bin/        gendefs.mk    recurse.mk   start.mk
PrOS/     current.mk  processor.mk  rulebase.mk

-> No Linux.... So the following information of chapter 7 is quite hard to follow....

Grepping for BASE_BUILDOS e.g. gives nothing for the Linux side :(

 

Is there a more up-to-date documentation?

    Every DSPLink release is shipped with two packages:

        * BSD licensed package dsplink_1_63.tar.gz, suitable for usage with non-Linux OSes, and for porting to a different OS.
        * Linux package dsplink_linux_1_63.tar.gz with GPL v2 licensed GPP kernel-side, with other code BSD licensed, for usage with Linux on GPP.

    You have the BSD licensed package which has no Linux source code. I would recommend you look at the Linux package as well for reference. The same has been mentioned in the link as well.
