The original version of this manual was written by Geoffroy Montel
<g_montel@@yahoo.com>.  When he started development of the gen68340
BSP, this manual did not exist.  He wrote the initial version of
this manual as the result of his experiences.  At that time, this
document was viewed internally as the most important "missing manual"
in the RTEMS documentation set.
