The original version of this manual was written by Geoffroy Montel <g_montel@yahoo.com>. When he started development of the gen68340 BSP, this manual did not exist. He wrote the initial version of this manual as the result of his experiences. At that time, this document was viewed internally as the most important "missing manual" in the RTEMS documentation set.
