    This configuration parameter is intended to prevent the common user error
    of using the Hello World example as the baseline for an application and
    leaving out a clock tick source.

    The application shall define exactly one of the following configuration options

    * :ref:`CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_CLOCK_DRIVER`,

    * ``CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_DOES_NOT_NEED_CLOCK_DRIVER``, or

    * :ref:`CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_TIMER_DRIVER`,

    otherwise a compile time error in the configuration file will occur.

.. Generated from spec:/acfg/if/appl-extra-drivers

.. index:: CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_EXTRA_DRIVERS

.. _CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_EXTRA_DRIVERS:

CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_EXTRA_DRIVERS
-----------------------------------

CONSTANT:
    ``CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_EXTRA_DRIVERS``

OPTION TYPE:
    This configuration option is an initializer define.

DEFAULT VALUE:
    The default value is the empty list.

VALUE CONSTRAINTS:
    The value of this configuration option shall be a list of initializers for
    structures of type :c:type:`rtems_driver_address_table`.

    enabled.

DESCRIPTION:
    In case this configuration option is defined, then the :file:`/dev/null`
    Driver is initialized during system initialization.

NOTES:
    This device driver is supported by all BSPs.

.. Generated from spec:/acfg/if/appl-needs-rtc-driver

.. index:: CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_RTC_DRIVER

.. _CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_RTC_DRIVER:

CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_RTC_DRIVER
--------------------------------------

CONSTANT:
    ``CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_RTC_DRIVER``

OPTION TYPE:
    This configuration option is a boolean feature define.

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION:
    If this configuration option is undefined, then the described feature is not
    enabled.

DESCRIPTION:
    In case this configuration option is defined, then the Real-Time Clock Driver
    is initialized during system initialization.

NOTES:

    If this is defined and the BSP does not have this device driver, then the
    user will get a link time error for an undefined symbol.

.. Generated from spec:/acfg/if/appl-needs-simple-console-driver

.. index:: CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_SIMPLE_CONSOLE_DRIVER

.. _CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_SIMPLE_CONSOLE_DRIVER:

CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_SIMPLE_CONSOLE_DRIVER
-------------------------------------------------

CONSTANT:
    ``CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_SIMPLE_CONSOLE_DRIVER``

OPTION TYPE:
    This configuration option is a boolean feature define.

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION:
    If this configuration option is undefined, then the described feature is not
    enabled.

DESCRIPTION:
    In case this configuration option is defined, then the Simple Console Driver
    is initialized during system initialization.

NOTES:
    This device driver is responsible for providing the :file:`/dev/console`
    device file.  This device is used to initialize the standard input, output,
    and error file descriptors.

    This device driver reads via :c:func:`getchark`.

    This device driver writes via :c:func:`rtems_putc`.

    The Termios framework is not used.  There is no support to change device
    settings, e.g. baud, stop bits, parity, etc.

    The

    * :ref:`CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_CONSOLE_DRIVER`,

    * ``CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_SIMPLE_CONSOLE_DRIVER``, and

    * :ref:`CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_SIMPLE_TASK_CONSOLE_DRIVER`

    configuration options are mutually exclusive.

.. Generated from spec:/acfg/if/appl-needs-simple-task-console-driver

.. index:: CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_SIMPLE_TASK_CONSOLE_DRIVER

.. _CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_SIMPLE_TASK_CONSOLE_DRIVER:

CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_SIMPLE_TASK_CONSOLE_DRIVER
------------------------------------------------------

CONSTANT:
    ``CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_SIMPLE_TASK_CONSOLE_DRIVER``

OPTION TYPE:
    This configuration option is a boolean feature define.

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION:
    If this configuration option is undefined, then the described feature is not
    enabled.

DESCRIPTION:
    In case this configuration option is defined, then the Simple Task Console
    Driver is initialized during system initialization.

NOTES:
    This device driver is responsible for providing the :file:`/dev/console`
    device file.  This device is used to initialize the standard input, output,
    and error file descriptors.

    This device driver reads via :c:func:`getchark`.

    This device driver writes into a write buffer.  The count of characters
    written into the write buffer is returned.  It might be less than the
    requested count, in case the write buffer is full.  The write is
    non-blocking and may be called from interrupt context.  A dedicated task
    reads from the write buffer and outputs the characters via
    :c:func:`rtems_putc`.  This task runs with the least important priority.
    The write buffer size is 2047 characters and it is not configurable.

    Use ``fsync( STDOUT_FILENO )`` or ``fdatasync( STDOUT_FILENO )`` to drain the
    write buffer.

    The Termios framework is not used.  There is no support to change device
    settings, e.g.  baud, stop bits, parity, etc.

    The

    * :ref:`CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_CONSOLE_DRIVER`,

    * :ref:`CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_SIMPLE_CONSOLE_DRIVER`, and

    * ``CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_SIMPLE_TASK_CONSOLE_DRIVER``

    configuration options are mutually exclusive.

NOTES:
    The Benchmark Timer Driver is intended for the benchmark tests of the RTEMS
    Testsuite.  Applications should not use this driver.

    The application shall define exactly one of the following configuration options

    * :ref:`CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_CLOCK_DRIVER`,

    * :ref:`CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_DOES_NOT_NEED_CLOCK_DRIVER`, or

    * ``CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_TIMER_DRIVER``,

    otherwise a compile time error will occur.

CONSTANT:
    ``CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_WATCHDOG_DRIVER``

OPTION TYPE:
    This configuration option is a boolean feature define.

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION:
    If this configuration option is undefined, then the described feature is not
    enabled.

DESCRIPTION:
    In case this configuration option is defined, then the Watchdog Driver is
    initialized during system initialization.

NOTES:
    Most BSPs do not include support for a watchdog device driver. This is
    because many boards do not include the required hardware.

    If this is defined and the BSP does not have this device driver, then the
    user will get a link time error for an undefined symbol.

VALUE CONSTRAINTS:
    The value of this configuration option shall satisfy all of the following
    constraints:

    * It shall be less than or equal to `SIZE_MAX
      <https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/types/limits>`_.

    * It shall be greater than or equal than the number of statically
      configured device drivers.

    * It shall be less than or equal to a BSP-specific and application-specific
      value which depends on the size of the memory available to the
      application.

DESCRIPTION:
    The value of this configuration option defines the number of device drivers.

NOTES:
    If the application will dynamically install device drivers, then the
    configuration option value shall be larger than the number of statically
    configured device drivers.
