RTEMS Tools Project

The RTEMS Tools Project is a collection of host based tools that support the RTEMS Project. RTEMS is an embedded operating system and development occurs on a range of different host computers. The RTEMS Tools Project collects a number of the host tools into a single package. The RTEMS Source Builder builds the RTEMS Tools packages when building a tool set.

The tools provided are:

• The RTEMS Source Builder builds development tools from source.
• The RTEMS Linker creates dynamically loaded executables.
• The RTEMS Tester is a Python-based tool to run RTEMS tests on a range of hardware or simulator targets.
• The RTEMS Trace Linker is a linker used to create trace executables.
• The RTEMS GDB Python support scripts provide user-friendly access to RTEMS kernel data.

The RTEMS Tools Project contains a number of tool patches for external tools used by the RTEMS projects.

RTEMS releases provide a tar file of the sources.
