There are many other parts of ModusToolbox™ software that are provided as middleware libraries. You do not need to use these libraries directly. When you create a ModusToolbox™ application, the system downloads all the libraries your application needs to take full advantage of the various features of our devices. A ModusToolbox™ application can use different libraries based on the Active BSP. If you wish to add various libraries to your application, use the Library Manager tool.
The following tables provide brief descriptions about the libraries available and links to the various repos. Refer to the ModusToolbox™ run-time software page for more details about how these libraries are used in the ModusToolbox™ ecosystem.
