RTEMS Project Mission Statement
|
|
*******************************
|
|
|
|
RTEMS development done under the umbrella of the RTEMS Project aims to provide a
|
|
free and open real-time operating system targeted towards deeply embedded
|
|
systems which is competitive with proprietary products. The RTEMS Project
|
|
encourages the support and use of standard APIs in order to promote application
|
|
portability and ease porting other packages to the RTEMS environment.
|
|
|
|
The RTEMS development effort uses an open development environment in which all
|
|
users collaborate to improve RTEMS. The RTEMS cross development tool suite is
|
|
based upon the free GNU tools and the open source standard C library newlib.
|
|
RTEMS supports many host platforms and target architectures.
|
|
|
|
Free Software Project
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The free software goals of the project are:
|
|
|
|
* RTEMS and supporting components are available under various free licenses with
|
|
copyrights being held by individual authors.
|
|
|
|
* All software which executes on the target will not place undue restrictions on
|
|
embedded applications. See also :ref:`LicensingRequirements`.
|
|
|
|
* Patches must be legally acceptable for inclusion into the RTEMS Project or the
|
|
specific project being used.
|
|
|
|
Design and Development Goals
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
* Source based development with all users building from source
|
|
|
|
* Any suitable host should be supported
|
|
|
|
* Open testing, tests and test results
|
|
|
|
* Ports to new architectures and CPU models
|
|
|
|
* Addition of Board Support Packages for available hardware
|
|
|
|
* Improved runtime libraries
|
|
|
|
* Faster debug cycle
|
|
|
|
* Various other infrastructure improvements
|
|
|
|
Open Development Environment
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
* Encourage cooperation and communication between developers
|
|
|
|
* Work more closely with "consumers"
|
|
|
|
* Code available to everyone at any time, and everyone is welcome to participate
|
|
in development
|
|
|
|
* Patches will be considered equally based on their technical merits
|
|
|
|
* All individuals and companies are welcome to contribute as long as they accept
|
|
the ground rules
|
|
|
|
* Open mailing lists
|
|
|
|
* Developer friendly tools and procedures with a focus on keeping them current
|
|
|
|
* Conflicts of interest exist for many RTEMS developers. The developers
|
|
contributing to the RTEMS Project must put the interests of the RTEMS Project
|
|
first.
