@unnumbered Preface
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this manual is to provide a roadmap to those people porting
|
|
RTEMS to a new CPU family. This process includes a variety of activities
|
|
including the following:
|
|
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
|
|
@item targeting the GNU development tools
|
|
|
|
@item porting the RTEMS executive code
|
|
|
|
@item developing a Board Support Package
|
|
|
|
@item writing an RTEMS CPU Supplement manual for the completed port.
|
|
|
|
@end itemize
|
|
|
|
This document focuses on the process of actually porting the RTEMS
|
|
executive code proper. Each of the data structures, routines, and macro
|
|
definitions required of a port of RTEMS is described in this document.
|
|
|
|
Porting any operating system, including RTEMS, requires knowledge of the
|
|
operating system, target CPU architecture, and debug environment. It is
|
|
very desirable to have a CPU simulator or hardware emulator when debugging
|
|
the port. This manual assumes that the user is familiar with building and
|
|
using RTEMS, the C programming language, and the target CPU architecture.
|
|
It is desirable to be familiar with the assembly language for the target
|
|
CPU family but since only a limited amount of assembly is required to port
|
|
RTEMS.
