This project will create a set of .deb packages for the tool chain for building RTEMS applications. This will be designed around the same structure that is used for the current rpm packages. In addition to these packages there will scripts set up to help maintain the packages by automating the generation of new packages when a new version of RTEMS is released. These packages will be setup for use on x86 based hardware as a development system and either Ubuntu or Debian as a host operating system. In addition to creating these packages for community use there is the intent to use them to generate a liveCD based off of Ubuntu.
= Mentor = Alain Schaefer = Status = July 3:Currently working on scripts for automatically generating packages. Working versions of autotools and binutils built. Currently working on gcc/newlib.
= TO DO =* Build packages on all target distributions. * Separate the newlib and gcc packages * Implement automation scripts for gcc, newlib, and gdb
''For Ubuntu i386'' * Set up automated scripts for generating packages * Test script generated packages * Set up and test liveCD ''For Debian i386'': * Set up automated scripts for generating packages * Test script generated packages ''For Ubuntu amd64'' * Set up automated scripts for generating packages * Test script generated packages = Completed = * Development machine built

I am currently a undergraduate at the University of Saskatchewan (UoS) double majoring in Computer Science and Physics. I have completed a 16 month internship at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the UoS where I was introduced to RTEMS and developed applications based off of it.
