Host Computer
|
|
*************
|
|
.. index:: Host Computer
|
|
|
|
RTEMS applications are developed using cross-development tools running on a
|
|
development computer, more often called the host computer. These are typically
|
|
your desktop machine or a special build server. All RTEMS tools and runtime
|
|
libraries are built from source on your host machine. The RTEMS Project does
|
|
not maintain binary builds of the tools. This differs to what you normally
|
|
experience with host operating systems however this approach works well. RTEMS
|
|
is not a host operating system and it is not a distrbution. Deploying binary
|
|
packages for every possible host operating system is too big a task for the
|
|
RTEMS Project and it is not a good use of core developer time. Their time is
|
|
better spent making RTEMS better and faster.
|
|
|
|
The RTEMS Project's aim is to give you complete freedom to decide on the
|
|
languages used in your project, which version control system, and the build
|
|
system for your application.
|
|
|
|
The rule for selecting a computer for a developer is `more is better` but we do
|
|
understand there are limits. Projects set up different configurations, some
|
|
have a development machine per developer while others set up a tightly
|
|
controlled central build server. RTEMS Ecosystem is flexible and lets you
|
|
engineer a development environment that suites you. The basic specs are:
|
|
|
|
- Multicore processor
|
|
- 8G bytes RAM
|
|
- 256G harddisk
|
|
|
|
RTEMS makes no demands on graphics.
|
|
|
|
If you are using a VM or your host computer is not a fast modern machine do
|
|
not be concerned. The tools may take longer to build than faster hardware
|
|
however building tools is something you do once. Once the tools and RTEMS are
|
|
built all your time can be spent writing and developing your application. It
|
|
may take longer than an hour for the ARM architecture and with all BSPs it can
|
|
be many hours.
