|
This document describes the RTEMS development
|
|
environment. Discussions are provided for the following topics:
|
|
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item the directory structure used by RTEMS,
|
|
|
|
@item usage of the GNU Make utility within the RTEMS
|
|
development environment,
|
|
|
|
@item sample applications, and
|
|
|
|
@item the RTEMS specific utilities.

RTEMS was designed as a reusable software component.
|
|
Highly reusable software such as RTEMS is typically distributed
|
|
in the form of source code without providing any support tools.
|
|
RTEMS is the foundation for a complex family of facilities
|
|
including board support packages, device drivers, and support
|
|
libraries. The RTEMS Development Environment is not a CASE
|
|
tool. It is a collection of tools designed to reduce the
|
|
complexity of using and enhancing the RTEMS family. Tools are
|
|
provided which aid in the management of the development,
|
|
maintenance, and usage of RTEMS, its run-time support
|
|
facilities, and applications which utilize the executive.
|
|
|
|
A key component of the RTEMS development environment
|
|
is the GNU family of free tools. This is robust set of
|
|
development and POSIX compatible tools for which source code is
|
|
freely available. The primary compilers, assemblers, linkers,
|
|
and make utility used by the RTEMS development team are the GNU
|
|
tools. They are highly portable supporting a wide variety of
|
|
host computers and, in the case of the development tools, a wide
|
|
variety of target processors.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended that the RTEMS developer become
|
|
familiar with the RTEMS Development Environment before
|
|
proceeding with any modifications to the executive source tree.
|
|
The source code for the executive is very modular and source
|
|
code is divided amongst directories based upon functionality as
|
|
well as dependencies on CPU and target board. This organization
|
|
is aimed at isolating and minimizing non-portable code. This
|
|
has the immediate result that adding support for a new CPU or
|
|
target board requires very little "wandering" around the source
|
|
tree.
