+To build and run the tests for this BSP, use the RTEMS tester.
+The necessary software can be built with the RTEMS source builder.
+
+To build the BSP for testing:
+ - set CONSOLE_POLLED=1 in the configure environment, some tests
+ assume console i/o is polled
+ - add --enable-tests to the configure line
+
+1. Qemu
+
+Linaro Qemu can emulate the beagleboard xm and so run all regression
+tests in software. Build the bbxm.bset from the RTEMS source builder and
+you will get qemu linaro that can run them. There is a beagleboardxm_qemu
+bsp in the RTEMS tester to invoke it with every test.
+
+2. bbxm hardware
+
+This requires JTAG, see README.JTAG. Use the beagleboardxm bsp in the
+RTEMS tester. It starts gdb to connect to openocd to reset the target
+and load the RTEMS executable for each test iteration.
