5.5.2: Using the bit_rtems Script

If you have not previously unarchived the build tools, then you will need to unarchive the build scripts at this point if you plan to use bit_rtems to build RTEMS. If this is the case, you will have to execute the following additional command since you did not do it as part of building the tools.

cd tools
tar xzf ../archive/c_build_scripts-4.5.1.tgz 

This script interprets the settings in the user.cfg file to enable or disable the various RTEMS options. The RTEMS specific entries described below must be set to tailor the RTEMS configuration to meet your application requirements:

RTEMS
is the directory under tools that contains rtems-4.5.1.
ENABLE_RTEMS_POSIX
is set to "yes" if you want to enable the RTEMS POSIX API support. At this time, this feature is not supported by the UNIX ports of RTEMS and is forced to "no" for those targets. This corresponds to the configure option --enable-posix.
ENABLE_RTEMS_ITRON
is set to "yes" if you want to enable the RTEMS ITRON API support. At this time, this feature is not supported by the UNIX ports of RTEMS and is forced to "no" for those targets. This corresponds to the configure option --enable-itron.
ENABLE_RTEMS_MP
is set to "yes" if you want to enable the RTEMS multiprocessing support. This feature is not supported by all RTEMS BSPs and is automatically forced to "no" for those BSPs. This corresponds to the configure option --enable-multiprocessing.
ENABLE_RTEMS_CXX
is set to "yes" if you want to build the RTEMS C++ support including the C++ Wrapper for the Classic API. This corresponds to the configure option --enable-cxx.
ENABLE_RTEMS_TESTS
is set to "yes" if you want to build the RTEMS Test Suite. If this is set to "no", then only the Sample Tests will be built. Setting this option to "yes" significantly increases the amount of disk space required to build RTEMS. This corresponds to the configure option --enable-tests.
ENABLE_RTEMS_TCPIP
is set to "yes" if you want to build the RTEMS TCP/IP Stack. If a particular BSP does not support TCP/IP, then this feature is automatically disabled. This corresponds to the configure option --enable-tcpip.
ENABLE_RTEMS_NONDEBUG
is set to "yes" if you want to build RTEMS in a fully optimized state. This corresponds to executing make after configuring the source tree.
ENABLE_RTEMS_DEBUG
is set to "yes" if you want to build RTEMS in a debug version. When built for debug, RTEMS will include run-time code to perform consistency checks such as heap consistency checks. Although the precise compilation arguments are BSP dependent, the debug version of RTEMS is usually built at a lower optimization level. This is usually done to reduce inlining which can make tracing code execution difficult. This corresponds to executing make VARIANT=debug after configuring the source tree.
INSTALL_RTEMS
is set to "yes" if you want to install RTEMS after building it. This corresponds to executing make install after configuring and building the source tree.
ENABLE_RTEMS_MAINTAINER_MODE
is set to "yes" if you want to enabled maintainer mode functionality in the RTEMS Makefile. This is disabled by default and it is not expected that most users will want to enable this. When this option is enabled, the build process may attempt to regenerate files that require tools not required when this option is disabled. This corresponds to the configure option --enable-maintainer-mode.

After tailoring user.cfg for your application, the bit_rtems script may be invoked as follows:

./bit_rtems CPU [BSP]

Where CPU is one of the RTEMS supported CPU families from the following list:

BSP is a supported BSP for the selected CPU family. The list of supported BSPs may be found in the file tools/rtems-4.5.1/README.configure in the RTEMS source tree. If the BSP parameter is not specified, then all supported BSPs for the selected CPU family will be built.

NOTE: The POSIX API must be enabled to use GNAT/RTEMS.
