-This is the RTEMS entry in the Crossgcc FAQ at @uref{http://www.objsw.com}.
-As of 8/19/99, it has been submitted twice and the FAQ not updated.
-
-RTEMS is a freely available, royalty free real-time executive with
-multiprocessor capabilities. RTEMS' design provides performance and
-capabilities are comparable to those of the best commercial executives.
-The directive execution times and other critical performance measures such
-as interrupt latency are best of class. RTEMS was developed by On-Line
-Applications Research Corporation (OAR) under contract to the U.S. Army
-Missile Command.
-
-
-RTEMS includes support for multiple APIs. Currently RTEMS supports a
-POSIX threads API, and an RTEID based API which is similar to pSOS+.
-RTEMS includes a number of advanced real-time features including optional
-rate monotonic scheduling support, binary semapahores with priority
-inheritance, and watchdog timer functions.
-
-RTEMS includes a port of the FreeBSD TCP/IP stack that has high
-performance on very modest hardware. A remote debug server is supported
-on some targets that allows debugging across the network.
-
-RTEMS provides a rich run-time environment with a reentrant C library,
-POSIX 1003.1b support, and file system support. It also includes optional
-debug aids like stack overflow and heap integrity checking.
-
-RTEMS is built using GNU autoconf and can be built on any host supporting
-the GNU tools including GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, and MS-Windows
-to name but a few. The current RTEMS release supports the following CPU
-families:
-
- Motorola m680x0, m683xx, and ColdFire
- Motorola and IBM PowerPC (4xx, 5xx, 6xx, 7xx, 8xx, and 84xx)
- Hitachi SH-1, SH-2, SH-4
- Hitachi H8
- ARM
- Intel i386, i486, and Pentium
- SPARC
- MIPS
- Texas Instruments C3x/C4x
- OpenCores OR32
-
-There are over 35 Board Support Packages included with RTEMS including
-BSPs for a standard PC as well as the SPARC, MIPS, PowerPC simulators
-included with gdb. There are numerous BSPs for CPUs targetting the
-embedded market such as the Motorola m683xx, ppc4xx, and mpc8xx series
-which support the on-CPU peripherals.
