Board Support Packages

RTEMS is a range of real-time and embedded system services usable on a wide range of processors. The Board Support Package or BSP provides the glue between RTEMS and a specific embedded system board's target hardware such as peripherals and memory.

A BSP is a collection of code for target hardware including the linker script (linkcmds), GCC customization script (e.g. bsp_specs), and startup code. A BSP that provides a clock and console driver and is able to run the RTEMS testsuite is called a basic BSP.

RTEMS provides a variety of BSPs including commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and custom hardware that may not be available, but that does provide examples of a BSP that may be a close fit for other custom designs.

The following subsections list SOME of the BSPs available in the RTEMS distribution. Other BSPs may be available privately or by commercial vendors.
