+Configuring a System Using the Template in confdefs.h
+=====================================================
+
+The file confdefs.h is a Configuration Template file which can be
+used to greatly simplify the creation and maintenance of RTEMS
+Configuration Tables. The basic concepts are:
+
+ + confdefs.h provides defaults for all configuration parameters
+
+ + applications specify only those values they wish to override
+
+ + confdefs.h can be the only file which knows the precise layout
+ of the RTEMS Configuration Tables.
+
+The Configuration Template setup is used by all RTEMS tests to
+simplify the maintenance of the tests.
+
+Here is the section from the system.h file from test tm21 from
+the Timing Test Suite:
+
+ /* configuration information */
+
+ #define CONFIGURE_TMTEST
+
+ #define CONFIGURE_TEST_NEEDS_CONSOLE_DRIVER
+ #define CONFIGURE_TEST_NEEDS_TIMER_DRIVER
+
+ #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_TASKS 102
+ #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_TIMERS 100
+ #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_SEMAPHORES 100
+ #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_QUEUES 100
+ #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_PARTITIONS 100
+ #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_REGIONS 100
+ #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_PORTS 100
+ #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_PERIODS 100
+
+ #define CONFIGURE_TICKS_PER_TIMESLICE 0
+
+ #include <confdefs.h>
+
+
+The above example overrides a number of the configuration parameters.
+It informs the template that it is a member of the Timing Suite,
+requires a console and timer driver, and that it needs 102 tasks,
+100 timers, 100 semaphores, 100 message queues, 100 partitions,
+100 regions, 100 ports, and 100 periods. By default, the test
+would have gotten no drivers, 10 tasks, and no other RTEMS objects.
+
+The following shows the configuration tables generated by the
+template by default.
