Configuring a System Using the Template in confdefs.h
=====================================================

The file confdefs.h is a Configuration Template file which can be
used to greatly simplify the creation and maintenance of RTEMS
Configuration Tables.  The basic concepts are:

   + confdefs.h provides defaults for all configuration parameters

   + applications specify only those values they wish to override

   + confdefs.h can be the only file which knows the precise layout
     of the RTEMS Configuration Tables.

The Configuration Template setup is used by all RTEMS tests to
simplify the maintenance of the tests.

Here is the section from the system.h file from test tm21 from 
the Timing Test Suite:

   /* configuration information */
 
   #define CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_CONSOLE_DRIVER
   #define CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_TIMER_DRIVER
 
   #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_TASKS              102
   #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_TIMERS             100
   #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_SEMAPHORES         100
   #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_MESSAGE_QUEUES     100
   #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_PARTITIONS         100
   #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_REGIONS            100
   #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_PORTS              100
   #define CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_PERIODS            100
 
   #define CONFIGURE_TICKS_PER_TIMESLICE        0
 
   #include <confdefs.h>
 

The above example overrides a number of the configuration parameters.
It informs the template that it is a member of the Timing Suite, 
requires a console and timer driver, and that it needs 102 tasks,
100 timers, 100 semaphores, 100 message queues, 100 partitions, 
100 regions, 100 ports, and 100 periods.   By default, the test
would have gotten no drivers, 10 tasks, and no other RTEMS objects.

The following shows the configuration tables generated by the 
template by default.
