-Board Support Package library
-
-This directory contains the source for the libbsp.a library.
-For each supported board $(RTEMS_BSP) there is a standard
-set of functions which must be provided in the BSP:
-
- + start up initialization
- + exit support
- + set vector
- + console IO support
- + drivers
-
-In addition, the BSP also determines the memory usage by providing
-any necessary linker scripts.
-
-There are also "generic" drivers in this directory. Currently
-they are shmdr and stubdr.
-
-Some of the supplied generic drivers (for example, shared memory) require
-target board specific support routines.
-
-NOTE: The library libbsp.a is actually built by $(RTEMS_BSP)/wrapup/Makefile.
-
-To execute all of the test in the RTEMS Tests Suites the following
-device drivers must be supplied:
-
- + Clock Tick
- + IO Driver Support
- + Timer
- + Shared Memory Driver Support
-
-The Timer Driver is used only by the Timing Test Suite (c/src/tests/tmtests/*).
-These tests are used to generate the execution times for RTEMS found in the
-flyers. It is recommended that these tests be run to verify a port to a new
-CPU or with a newly developed BSP. Looking at the times as compared to a
-known CPU and target can yield insights into potential performance problems
-in either the port, the BSP, or the target hardware.
-
-The Shared Memory Support is only required to execute the Multiprocessor
-Test Suite (c/src/tests/mptests/*). Multiprocessing is not a required part
-of a BSP.
