-You will be best served by using a Virtual Machine image we create that has all the tools installed ready to run. The image uses Virtual Box and should run on most modern computers. GSoC is about the working on open source and the projects listed and not about a specific complexity of a project like RTEMS, for example the tools. You can find out more about the virtual machine images on the [wiki:Virtual_Machines_for_RTEMS_Development_  Virtual Machines for RTEMS Development] page.

-If you use GNU/Linux and are familiar with using it we provide RPM based prebuilt tools for some GNU/Linux distribution. Some of the core RTEMS developers use [http://fedoraproject.org/ Fedora] or [http://www.centos.org/ CentOS] and we are can support you when if you use one these development host operating system. Some users have had success using Debian and Ubuntu with [wiki:TBR/Website/Debian_and_Ubuntu prebuilt tools], although you may need to [wiki:Building_the_RTEMS_toolset_on_Ubuntu_  build your own toolchain] how-ever this adds complexity to the task so be warned. As of February 2012 we suggest using Fedora 16 or CentOS 6.  We will ALWAYS be on a version that is supported by the distribution. Other [wiki:TBR/UserManual/RTEMS_Development_Hosts development hosts] can also be used but are less well-supported.

While RTEMS Project also provides RPM based prebuilt tools for some GNU/Linux distributions especially Fedora and CentOS, these tools are not as up-to-date as you can get from building with the RSB. You can find directions on the documentation for the RSB.

  *  Install or update GNU/Linux distribution as needed.
 
- *  Install RTEMS Tools.  See [wiki:TBR/UserManual/RTEMS_Development_Hosts  RTEMS Development Hosts] for information but remember we encourage you to use Fedora and thus you will follow the APT/Yum instructions. Make sure to get the right tools for the current version of RTEMS (the development HEAD, as of February 2012 these are the rtems-4.11 tools).
