+@unnumbered Preface
+
+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.
+
+This document discusses the VENDOR XXX
+architecture dependencies in this port of RTEMS. The XXX
+family has a wide variety of CPU models within it. The part
+numbers ...
+
+XXX fill in some things here
+
+It is highly recommended that the XXX
+RTEMS application developer obtain and become familiar with the
+documentation for the processor being used as well as the
+documentation for the family as a whole.
