-The Real Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems
-(RTEMS) is designed to be portable across multiple processor
-architectures. However, the nature of real-time systems makes
-it essential that the application designer understand certain
-processor dependent implementation details. These processor
-dependencies include calling convention, board support package
-issues, interrupt processing, exact RTEMS memory requirements,
-performance data, header files, and the assembly language
-interface to the executive.
