    55The RTEMS Source Builder or RSB builds RTEMS tool sets for a range of hosts from source. It is an easy to use tool complete with [https://docs.rtems.org/rsb documentation] that gives you a ready to use RTEMS tool set for your architecture. It is actively being maintained so you get a current tool set that works with RTEMS releases as well as RTEMS's development branches.

     75=== Arch Linux – setting up a Python 2 virtual environment ===
     76In modern versions of Arch Linux, `python` is now a shortcut to `python3` from the `python` package. RSB will not function in Python 3, but you can set up a virtual environment for RSP with Python 2.
     77
     78At a root terminal, install `python2-virtualenv` with `pacman`.
     79{{{
     80# pacman -S python2-virtualenv
     81}}}
     82
     83Leave root and return to the user that you will be using to build RTEMS.
     84
     85Change to a directory which you have permissions for where you wish the virtual environment to be set up, and create it by using the `virtualenv2` command, like so:
     86{{{
     87$ cd development/rtems/rsb
     88$ virtualenv2 venv
     89}}}
     90
     91where ''venv'' is the folder that will be created with the environment set up inside.
     92
     93Activate it, and you should see the name of the virtual environment added to the prompt (PS1 variable):
     94{{{
     95$ source venv/bin/activate
     96(venv)$
     97}}}
     98
     99You can now continue to follow the build instructions.
