This configuration encompasses a +variety of information including the length of each clock tick, the maximum +number of each information RTEMS object that can be created, the application +initialization tasks, the task scheduling algorithm to be used, and the device +drivers in the application. + +Although this information is contained in data structures that are used by +RTEMS at system initialization time, the data structures themselves must not be +generated by hand. RTEMS provides a set of macros system which provides a +simple standard mechanism to automate the generation of these structures. + +The RTEMS header file ``<rtems/confdefs.h>`` is at the core of the automatic +generation of system configuration. It is based on the idea of setting macros +which define configuration parameters of interest to the application and +defaulting or calculating all others. This variety of macros can automatically +produce all of the configuration data required for an RTEMS application. The +term ``confdefs`` is shorthand for a *Configuration Defaults*. + +As a general rule, application developers only specify values for the +configuration parameters of interest to them. They define what resources or +features they require. In most cases, when a parameter is not specified, it +defaults to zero (0) instances, a standards compliant value, or disabled as +appropriate. For example, by default there will be 256 task priority levels but +this can be lowered by the application. This number of priority levels is +required to be compliant with the RTEID/ORKID standards upon which the Classic +API is based. There are similar cases where the default is selected to be +compliant with the POSIX standard. + +For each configuration parameter in the configuration tables, the macro +corresponding to that field is discussed. The RTEMS Maintainers expect that all +systems can be easily configured using the ``<rtems/confdefs.h>`` mechanism and +that using this mechanism will avoid internal RTEMS configuration changes +impacting applications. + +Some application configuration settings and other system parameters can be +queried by the application.
