The latest version of Custom Waveshare 7inch is `v1.0.1` (check link [esp-bsp/SquareLine/boards/custom\_waveshare\_7inch/components/ws\_7inch at master · espressif/esp-bsp · GitHub](https://github.com/espressif/esp-bsp/tree/master/SquareLine/boards/custom_waveshare_7inch/components/ws_7inch)). However, the built in included BSP in Squareline Studio is `v1.0.0`. The generated code is not the latest version. ## What I tried I have also tried to add the BSP myself through adding the BSP file by putting the generated BSP in the `SquareLine Studio 1.3.0\boards` path. However, SLS does not recognizes the newer version. ---

Did you run [gen.py](https://github.com/espressif/esp-bsp/blob/master/SquareLine/gen.py) to get the actual packages for SLS? ---

## Breakdown of the differences The main difference between the two file structures is the presence of the `priv_include` directory in the first structure and the absence of the `priv_include` directory in the second structure. Here’s a breakdown of the differences: The imported actual packages project : - Generated following the [guide](https://github.com/espressif/esp-bsp/tree/master/SquareLine/boards/custom_waveshare_7inch) with `python gen.py -b custom_waveshare_7inch -o output_folder` and put generated `espressif/custom_waveshare_7inch` folder into `boards` in SquareLine Studio installation folder - [idf\_component.yml](https://github.com/espressif/esp-bsp/blob/master/SquareLine/boards/custom_waveshare_7inch/components/ws_7inch/idf_component.yml) of the component is `v1.0.1` - The `components` directory contains a subdirectory called `ws_7inch`, which represents a specific component or module. - Inside the `ws_7inch` directory, there are several files and directories, including `CMakeLists.txt`, `idf_component.yml`, `LICENSE`, `pic.jpg`, `README.md`, and `ws_7inch.c`. - The `ws_7inch` directory also contains an `include` directory, which further contains a subdirectory called `bsp` and includes the files `esp-bsp.h` and `ws_7inch.h`. - **Additionally, there is a `priv_include` directory inside the `ws_7inch` directory, which includes the file `bsp_err_check.h`.** - The `main` directory contains files and directories related to the main project, including `CMakeLists.txt`, `idf_component.yml`, `main.c`, and a subdirectory called `ui`. The exported project when I clicked `Export - Create Template Project` : - The overall file structure is similar to the first structure, with the same files and directories present in the root directory (`CMakeLists.txt`, `LICENSE`, `partitions.csv`, `README.md`, and `sdkconfig.defaults`). - The `components` directory also contains the `ws_7inch` subdirectory, which includes similar files (`CMakeLists.txt`, `idf_component.yml`, `LICENSE`, `pic.jpg`, `README.md`, and `ws_7inch.c`). - **However, in the second structure, the `ws_7inch` directory lacks the `priv_include` directory.** - Inside the `ws_7inch` directory, there is an `include` directory that contains a subdirectory called `bsp`, which includes the file `ws_7inch.h`. - The `main` directory and its contents (including `CMakeLists.txt`, `idf_component.yml`, `main.c`, and the `ui` subdirectory) remain unchanged. In summary, the main difference is the presence of the `priv_include` directory in the first structure and its absence in the second structure. This difference indicates that the exported project from the “Create Template Project” process does not include the `priv_include` directory or its contents. ## File structure The imported actual packages project : ```shell . | CMakeLists.txt | LICENSE | README.md | sdkconfig.defaults | +---components | \---ws_7inch | | CMakeLists.txt | | idf_component.yml | | LICENSE | | pic.jpg | | README.md | | ws_7inch.c | | | +---include | | \---bsp | | esp-bsp.h | | ws_7inch.h | | | \---priv_include | bsp_err_check.h | \---main | CMakeLists.txt | idf_component.yml | main.c | \---ui README.md ``` The exported project when I clicked `Export - Create Template Project` : ```shell . | CMakeLists.txt | LICENSE | partitions.csv | README.md | sdkconfig.defaults | +---components | | | \---ws_7inch | | CMakeLists.txt | | idf_component.yml | | Kconfig | | LICENSE | | pic.jpg | | README.md | | ws_7inch.c | | | \---include | | | \---bsp | ws_7inch.h | \---main | CMakeLists.txt | idf_component.yml | main.c | \---ui ``` ---

It’s really interesting, to be honest I have no idea how can it happen that only one folder is missing. We have tried it on Linux and Windows and it worked well in both cases. I guess you have tried to export it again. ---

Oh, we have any idea! Did you put the board files to `C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\SquareLine\boards`? Be sure you don’t have it in `C:\Program Files\SquareLine Studio 1.3.0\boards`. ---

For several months, I have consistently placed the board files in the directory `C:\Program Files\SquareLine Studio 1.3.0\boards`. > Copy generated `espressif/custom_waveshare_7inch` folder into `boards` in SquareLine Studio installation folder. According to the guidance provided in the documentation [esp-bsp/README.md · GitHub](https://github.com/espressif/esp-bsp/blob/master/SquareLine/boards/custom_waveshare_7inch/README.md), it appeared that the aforementioned location was the designated destination for the board files. > The board packages need to be copied to the **boards** folder of SquareLine Studio. Furthermore, the documentation on [Open Board Platform (OBP) | SquareLine Studio](https://docs.squareline.io/docs/obp/#:~:text=The%20OBP%20feature%20allows%20you,screen%20in%20the%20Create%20menu.) lacks explicit instructions regarding the precise path for storing the Board Support Package (BSP) board files. ---

I can confidently affirm that the Board Support Package (BSP) and User Interface (UI) export functionality in SquareLine Studio (SLS) operates seamlessly when the board files are placed in the directory `C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\SquareLine\boards`, as opposed to the previous location at `C:\Program Files\SquareLine Studio 1.3.0\boards`. ---

Great! 🎉 Thank you for the feedback. We will update the docs.
