+The hello world sample application is a simple example of an
+RTEMS application the uses the RTEMS Application Makefile
+system. This Makefile system gives simplifies building
+RTEMS applications by providing Makefile templates and
+capturing the configuration information used to build
+RTEMS specific to your BSP. Building an RTEMS application
+for different BSPs is as simple as switching the
+setting of @code{RTEMS_MAKEFILE_PATH}. This Makefile
+system is described in the file
