This is the source distribution for RTEMS 4.8.0 source, 
add-ons, and documentation.  The primary development
platforms supported are GNU/Linux distribtions which use 
RPMs.  MS-Windows is supported as a secondary platform.

The 4.8.0 release is the first release in the 4.8 series.
It includes all bug fixes found in the 4.7 series along
with a number of enhancements and bug fixes since the 
4.7 release branch was made.  Some of the enhancements
included between the 4.7 and 4.8 release series are listed at:

http://www.rtems.org/rtems-4.8/index.html

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

(1) Load the appropriate Yum repository configuration
    information.  This example is for Fedora GNU/Linux.
    RPMs are also provided for RedHat Enterprise Linux
    and SUSE.

    # 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/4.8/fedora/NNN/i386/rtems-4.8-yum-conf-0.10-1.fcNNN.noarch.rpm

(2) Load cross development RPMs for your RTEMS target architecture
    along with the RTEMS 4.8 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 bgin h8300 i386 m68k mips powerpc sh sparc 
      yum -y install "*4.8*CPU*" "*4.8*auto*"

That's it.  You should be able to configure and build RTEMS
at this point.  If targeting a simulator BSP included with
GDB (sparc/sis, powerpc/psim, or mips/jm43904), you should
be able to generate 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 straightfoward. Normally it takes longer to
download the tools via ftp than to build RTEMS.

Comments, feedback welcomed.  See the instructions at
