@section RTEMS FTP Site Organization

RTEMS is distributed only via anonymous ftp.

This section will discuss how to navigate the RTEMS

ftp site and unarchive the files in the RTEMS and GNU package

distributions.  All example commands will be given in a shell

independent fashion unless otherwise noted.

Throughout the rest of this manual

<RTEMS_distribution> will be used as the parent of components

within the RTEMS distribution.  For persons using the ftp

distribution found on the primary ftp site for RTEMS,

<RTEMS_distribution> is

ftp://ftp.OARcorp.com/oarcorp/rtems/@value{VERSION}.

The archive files for RTEMS Release @value{VERSION} are found

under the directory <RTEMS_distribution>.  This directory

contains the files which comprise this relase as well as any

patches which may be required for other tools.

The complete source code and documentation set for

the C language implementation of RTEMS is provided.

Documentation other than this on-line version is available to

OAR support customers.  Please contact OAR for more information.

@section Unarchiving the RTEMS and GNU Components

Many of the components of the RTEMS release are

"tarred, zipped" files and have the .tar.gz or .tgz extension.

The GNU zip package is required to unarchives these files on the

RTEMS ftp site.  If this package is not installed, the source

can be found in the files

ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gzip-1.2.4.shar or

ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gzip-1.2.4.tar.  It may be

restored using a command similar to the following:

@example

@group

tar xvf gzip-1.2.4.tar

OR

sh gzip-1.2.4.shar

@end group

@end example

This will create a subdirectory gzip-1.2.4 in the

current directory.  Please examine the files README and INSTALL

and follow the instructions provided there.

[Note: The GNU tools follow a standard packaging procedure

They will unarchive into a directory based on the package name and version

number.  For detailed instructions on compilation and

installation of the GNU tools, please refer to the instructions for

each GNU tool.]

Files which have been "tarred, zipped" (i.e.  .tar.gz

or .tgz extension) may be unarchived with a command similar to

one of the following:

@example

@group

gzcat <file>.tgz | tar xvof -

OR

gunzip -c <file>.tgz | tar xvof -

OR

gtar xzvf <file>.tgz

@end group

@end example

NOTE: gunzip -c is equivalent to gzcat, while gtar is GNU tar.

Given that the necessary utility programs are

installed, any of the above commands will extract the contents

of <file>.tar.gz into the current directory.  All of the RTEMS

components will be extracted into the subdirectory rtems-@value{VERSION}.

To view the contents of a component without restoring any files,

use a command similar to the following:

@example

@group

gzcat <file>.tgz | tar tvf -

@end group

@end example

@section Installing a Cross-Development GNU Toolset

This sections describes how to build and install the

FSF GNU tools for use as a cross-compilation system.  These

tools are used by the RTEMS developers.  Every effort has been

made to make these instructions accurate and complete.  However,

it is recommended that the individual doing the installation

read the appropriate installation notes for each of the tools in

the cross toolset.  This will help insure that there are no

special requirements for a particular host.

If the host and target processors are the same, then

it may be possible to use the host development tools.  An

example of this scenario is using a SPARC based workstation

to develop an RTEMS application for the SPARC processor.  Although

the native toolset is useable in this scenario, it is ultimately

more desirable to build a toolset specifically for the embedded environment.

Instructions for building a cross environment using the GNU

tools is provided in the crossgcc FAQ available from ftp.cygnus.com

in /pub/embedded/crossgcc.  It is recommended that the user following

these instructions.

After the cross development toolset has been built

and installed, it will be necessary to modify the environment of

each RTEMS application developer to reflect at least the path of

the newly installed cross development toolset.

The documentation for the FSF GNU and Cygnus tools is

formatted using TeX.  The RTEMS developers use TeX 3.14t3 to

format the manuals for their own use.  This document does not

contain instructions on the acquisition or installation of TeX

and supporting tools.

NOTE: For "UNIX" processors, the native compiler binary utilities

should be used.
