-This installer will install the common files and present you with a selection box for the targets you wish to install. The installer will check to see if you have already have the target installer present and if not it will download it for and install it. You can also download a specific installer for a target and install that. It is best to have run the top level installer once.

 The source code for the tools is under the GNU GPL and can be found here http://www.rtems.org/ftp/pub/rtems/windows/4.8/build-15/source.

This will open a Windows Command prompt (cmd) with a valid path to the installed tools. You can find the <tt>rtems.bat</tt> where you installed the tools or under the '''RTEMS 4.8''' menu in the '''Start Menu'''. Enter the GCC command for your tool set. For example the ARM GCC command is:
