+@chapter Building RTEMS
+
+@section Unpack the RTEMS source
+
+Use the following command sequence to unpack the RTEMS source into the
+tools directory: 
+
+@example
+cd tools
+tar xzf ../arc/rtems-980219.tgz
+@end example
+
+@section Add the bin directory under the install point to the default PATH
+
+Use the following command to append the <INSTALL_POINT>/bin directory to
+the PATH variable: 
+
+@example
+PATH=$PATH:<INSTALL_POINT>/bin
+@end example
+
+@section Generate RTEMS for a specific target and board support package
+
+Make a build directory under tools and build the RTEMS product in this
+directory. The ../rtems-980219/configure command has numerous command line
+arguments. These arguments are discussed in detail in documentation that
+comes with the RTEMS distribution. In the installation described in the
+section "Unpack the RTEMS source", these configuration options can be found
+in file:
+
+@example
+tools/rtems-980219/README.configure
+@end example
+
+A simple example of the configuration appears below:
+
+@example
+mkdir build-rtems
+cd build-rtems
+../rtems-980219/configure --target=<TARGET_CONFIGURATION> \
+--disable-posix --disable-ka9q --disable-cpp \
+--enable-rtemsbsp=<BOARD_SUPPORT_PACKAGE>\
+--prefix=< INSTALL_POINT>
+gmake all install
+@end example
+
+Where:
+
+The current summary of <TARGET_CONFIGURATION>'s and
+<BOARD_SUPPORT_PACKAGE>'s can be found in
+tools/rtems-980219/README.configure
+
+
+<INSTALL_POINT> is the installation point from the previous step
+"Modify the bit script" in the build of the tools.
