14 | The Real Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems |
---|
15 | (RTEMS) is designed to be portable across multiple processor |
---|
16 | architectures. However, the nature of real-time systems makes |
---|
17 | it essential that the application designer understand certain |
---|
18 | processor dependent implementation details. These processor |
---|
19 | dependencies include calling convention, board support package |
---|
20 | issues, interrupt processing, exact RTEMS memory requirements, |
---|
21 | performance data, header files, and the assembly language |
---|
22 | interface to the executive. |
