This section discusses the freely available tools and libraries which are part of the RTEMS Development Environment. None of the tools discussed in this section were developed by the RTEMS project, although many do include submissions from the project. All of the tools and libraries required to build RTEMS are freely available. The home ftp site for most of the non-RTEMS specific tools is either prep.ai.mit.edu (18.71.0.38) or ftp.cygnus.com (140.174.1.3).
Specifically of interest to embedded systems developers using the GNU tools is the crossgcc mailing list. This is a Majordomo style mailing list and may be subscribed to by sending a message to crossgcc-request@cygnus.com with the following line as the body:
subscribe rtems_user@your_email_goes_here.com
Please replace rtems_user@your_email_goes_here.com with your email address. The FAQ for crossgcc is in the /pub/embedded/crossgcc directory on ftp.cygnus.com (205.180.83.42).
