* Directory Structure Suites::
@end menu
@end ifinfo
The RTEMS directory structure is designed to meet
the following requirements:
@itemize @bullet
@item encourage development of modular components.
@item isolate processor and target dependent code, while
allowing as much common source code as possible to be shared
across multiple processors and targets.
@item allow multiple RTEMS users to perform simultaneous
compilation of RTEMS and its support facilities for different
processors and targets.
@end itemize
The resulting directory structure has processor and
target dependent source files isolated from generic files. When
RTEMS is built, object directories and an install point will be
automatically created based upon the target BSP selected. The
placement of object files based upon the selected BSP name
insures that object files are not mixed across CPUs or targets.
This in combination with the make files allows the specific
compilation options to be tailored for a particular target
board. For example, the efficiency of the memory subsystem for
a particular target board may be sensitive to the alignment of
data structures, while on another target board with the same
processor memory may be very limited. For the first target, the
options could specify very strict alignment requirements, while
on the second the data structures could be "packed" to conserve
memory. It is impossible to achieve this degree of flexibility
without providing source code.

@end ifinfo
The RTEMS source tree is organized based on the
following four variables:
@itemize @bullet
@item language,
@item target processor,
@item target board, and
@item compiler vendor (Ada only).
@end itemize
The language may be either C or Ada and there is
currently nothing shared between the source trees for these two
implementations of RTEMS. The user generally selects the
subdirectory for the implementation they are using and ignores
that for the other implementation. The only exceptions to this
normally occurs when comparing the source code for the two
implementations or when porting both to a new CPU or target
board. The following shows the top level RTEMS directory
structure which includes directories for each language
implementation and a language independent source documentation
directory. The source documentation directory is currently not
supported.

This directory contains the subdirectories which
contain the entire C implementation of the RTEMS executive.
The "build-tools" directory contains an assortment of support tools
for the RTEMS development environment. Two subdirectories exist
under "build-tools" which contain scripts (executables) and
source for the support tools. The "make" directory contains
configuration files and subdirectories which provide a robust
host and cross-target makefile system supporting the building of
the executive for numerous application environments. The
"update_tools" directory contains utilities which aid in the
updating from a previous version to the current version of the
RTEMS executive.

This directory contains a set of subdirectories which
contains the source files comprising the executive portion of
the RTEMS development environment. At this point the API
specific and "supercore" source code files are separated into
distinct directory trees. The "rtems" and the "posix"
subdirectories contain the C language source files for each
module comprising the respective API. Also included in this
directory are the subdirectories "sapi" and "score" which are
the supercore modules. Within the "score" directory the CPU
dependent modules are found.
The "cpu" directory contains a subdirectory for each
target CPU supported by the @value{RELEASE} release of the RTEMS
executive. Each processor directory contains the CPU dependent
code necessary to host RTEMS. The "no_cpu" directory provides a
starting point for developing a new port to an unsupported
processor. The files contained within the "no_cpu" directory
may also be used as a reference for the other ports to specific
processors.

@subsection Support Library Source Directory
The "lib" directory contains the support libraries and BSPS.
Board support packages (BSPs), processor environment start up code,
C library support, the FreeBSD TCP/IP stack, common BSP header files,
and miscellaneous support functions are provided in the subdirectories.
These are combined with the RTEMS executive object to form the single
RTEMS library which installed.
@c

@c
The "libbsp" directory contains a directory for each CPU family supported
by RTEMS. Beneath each CPU directory is a directory for each BSP for that
processor family.
@c
@c Tree 7 - C BSP Library
@c
The "libbsp" directory provides all the BSPs provided with this
release of the RTEMS executive. The subdirectories are
divided, as discussed previously, based on specific processor
family, then further breaking down into specific target board
environments. The "shmdr" subdirectory provides the
implementation of a shared memory driver which supports the
multiprocessing portion of the executive. In addition, two
starting point subdirectories are provided for reference. The
"no_cpu" subdirectory provides a template BSP which can be used
to develop a specific BSP for an unsupported target board. The
"stubdr" subdirectory provides stubbed out BSPs. These files
may aid in preliminary testing of the RTEMS development
environment that has been built for no particular target in mind.
Below each CPU dependent directory is a directory for each target BSP
supported in this release.
Each BSP provides the modules which comprise an RTEMS BSP. The
modules are separated into the subdirectories "clock", "console",
"include", "shmsupp", "startup", and "timer" as shown in the following
figure:

The "sptests" subdirectory consists of twenty-four
tests designed to cover the entire executive code. The
"spfatal" test will verify any code associated with the
occurrence of a fatal error. Also provided is a test which
will determine the size of the RTEMS executive.
The multiprocessor test are provided in "mptests".
Fourteen tests are provided in this subdirectory which address
two node configurations and cover the multiprocessor code found
in RTEMS.
Tests that time each directive and a set of critical
executive functions are provided in the "tmtests" subdirectory.
Within this subdirectory thirty-one tests are provided along

This directory provides sample application tests
which aid in the testing a newly built RTEMS environment, a new
BSP, or as starting points for the development of an application
using the RTEMS executive. A Hello World test is provided in
the subdirectory "hello". This test is helpful when testing new
versions of RTEMS, BSPs, or modifications to any portion of the
RTEMS development environment. The "ticker" subdirectory
provides a test for verification of clock chip device drivers of
BSPs. A simple single processor test similar to those in the
single processor test suite is provided in "base_sp". A simple
two node multiprocessor test capable of testing an newly
developed MPCI layer is provided in "base_mp". The "cdtest"
subdirectory provides a simple C++ application using
constructors and destructors. The final sample test is a
public domain floating point and math library toolset test is
provided in "paranoia".
