5The purpose of this manual is to provide a roadmap to those people porting
6RTEMS to a new CPU family. This process includes a variety of activities
7including the following:
8
9- targeting the GNU development tools
10
11- porting the RTEMS executive code
12
13- developing a Board Support Package
14
15- writing an RTEMS CPU Supplement manual for the completed port.
16
17This document focuses on the process of actually porting the RTEMS
18executive code proper.  Each of the data structures, routines, and macro
19definitions required of a port of RTEMS is described in this document.
20
21Porting any operating system, including RTEMS, requires knowledge of the
22operating system, target CPU architecture, and debug environment.  It is
23very desirable to have a CPU simulator or hardware emulator when debugging
24the port.  This manual assumes that the user is familiar with building and
25using RTEMS, the C programming language, and the target CPU architecture.
26It is desirable to be familiar with the assembly language for the target
27CPU family but since only a limited amount of assembly is required to port
28RTEMS.
