Standardizing how a user interacts with RTEMS is important and making that experience portable is also important. The RTEMS Ecosystem provides a standard interface that is the same on all supported host systems. The ecosystem provided by the RTEMS Project will not install in a single click of a mouse because we want users to learn the parts they will come to depend on as their project’s development matures.

We encourage users to explore what can be done and to discover ways to make it fit their needs. It is important to keep this in mind when working through this manual. The processes explained in this manual are the same things an RTEMS maintainer does to maintain the kernel or an experienced user does to build their production system. It is a series of parts, components, and items that are used to create a suitable development environment to work with.

RTEMS’s ecosystem does not mandate a way to work. RTEMS is more than a kernel running real-time applications on target hardware, it is part of a project’s and therefore team’s workflow and every project and team is different.

RTEMS is complex and the focus of the RTEMS Ecosystem is to simplify the complexity for users by providing a stable documented way to build, configure and run RTEMS.
