+This board support package has not been tested with multiprocessor
+or the timing support.  The uniprocessor IDP package was tested though
+with a fairly large application (although bugs may exist).  The
+$RTEMS_ROOT/src/tests/Makefile should therefore have the samples and
+the tests directories compiled first with the tmtests (timing) and
+multiprocessor directories optional.
+
+Let me know if you have any problems or bug fixes.  Bug fixes are greatly
+appreciated.  I do not work for RTEMS or am a member of the RTEMS support
+group in any way, however.  I am just one of many that appreciate
+"free" software and enjoy contributing when possible :).  You can do it too!

+==============================================================
+Notes: Make sure that -msoft-float is defined when compiling in the
+newlib-beta-rtems/newlib/msoft-float directory subtree.  You also probably
+want to add the following line to line 413 of
+newlib-beta-rtems/newlib/msoft-float/libc/stdio/vfprintf.c:
+
+#define INTEGER_ONLY
+
+That allows you to pass most of the paranoia test in the samples
+directory of RTEMS although you can't see the floating point values actually
+printed (software floating point tends to make that difficult anyway).
+In order to pass the whole paranoia test (with one flaw), however, I had to
+comment out the following line in milestone 140 (why?):
+
+/*  printf ("Testing X^((X + 1) / (X - 1)) vs. exp(2) = %.17e as X -> 1.\n",
+    Exp2); */
