Board Support Package (BSP) is a set of software tools that engineers and developers use to support custom hardware designs. It's typically used alongside commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware that has been modified, enabling the hardware to operate with the existing software packages. BSP engineers and developers specialize in creating the software wrappers which make the hardware work on a specific operating system.

When hiring a freelance BSP engineer or developer, you'll want to consider the types of tasks they should be able to do. These include helping define hardware and software integration requirements, configuring the system’s GPIO pins, writing custom drivers for peripherals, debugging the system during development, and porting or adapting existing systems or reference designs. A good BSP engineer should also have experience in writing code for boot loaders, board initialization software and other tasks like building packages for various operating systems.

When interviewing a BSP expert, you will want to make sure they can effectively communicate their work process to you and that they understand the project's scope and deliverables. You should also ask them about their experience in the particular operating system you are working on as well as similar projects they might have done in the past. Additionally, you should have them review any relevant documents such as sketched diagrams or blueprints before selecting them for an interview. As for cost, prices typically range from $25–$100 an hour depending on the scope of work required and expertise level of the professional being hired.
