8 August 2008

This is the source distribution for RTEMS 4.7.3, add-ons, and
documentation.  The primary development platforms supported are
GNU/Linux distribtions which use RPMs.

The 4.7.3 release is the third release in the 4.7.3 series.
It includes all bug fixes found in the 4.6 series along
with a number of enhancements and bug fixes since the 
4.7.2 release.  The bugs fixed along with some of the
enhancements included between the 4.6 and 4.7 release
series are listed at:

http://www.rtems.org/rtems-4.7/index.html

Specific issues addressed between 4.7.2 and 4.7.3 are
listed in the file PRs-closed-4.7.3.

For Fedora users, loading the prebuilt tools should be
very easy and something like this:

(1) Load the appropriate Yum repository configuration
    information.

    # Replace NNN with your 1-8 to reflect the Fedora version
    # Replace ARCH with your i386 or x86_64 to reflect your host architecture
    rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/linux/4.7/fedora/NNN/ARCH/rtems-4.7-yum-conf-0.10-1.fcNNN.noarch.rpm

(2) Load cross development RPMs for your target architecture
    along with the RTEMS 4.7 specific version of GNU autoconf
    and automake.

      # Replace CPU with the name of the CPU architecture you
      # want to use RTEMS on.  Choice are: 
      #   arm avr h8300 i386 m68k mips powerpc sh sparc 
      yum -y install "*4.7*CPU*" "*4.7*auto*"

That's it.  You should be able to configure and build RTEMS
at the point.  If targeting a simulator BSP included with
GDB (sparc/sis, powerpc/psim, or mips/jm43904), it is possible
to be able to install the tools, build RTEMS and run target
executables in a matter of minutes.

Configuring qemu so that it will boot an RTEMS application for
the i386/pc386 takes a bit longer but is still quite straightforward.
Normally it takes longer to download the tools via ftp than to
build RTEMS.

Comments, feedback welcomed.  See the instructions at
