 Now open the editor you are most comfortable with and open the init.c file of the particular application.
-init.c is the file which contains configuration data of the application. Scroll down and you would see configuration information. For the ticker application the configuration information looks as follows-https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B41ApxXt-m4jckZqN29PMXVXUms/edit

 Now since we wish to use the header generated by the GUI for storing our configuration information, we open the GUI. On opening the GUI you will be greeted by a welcome screen. On the welcome screen you would see a box saying open conf.t. Click on that box and go to the location of conf.t (http://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/doc/user/conf.t) . It should be present in rtems/doc/user/conf.t.

 These 2 sections would be of great help for learning how to compile and run the application-

 Here I would take SPARC for the purpose of compiling.
-Please go to the ticker sub directory do the following steps for compiling and running -
