I hope the tests went well and I am sorry to hear you have been ill.<br>

A vertical integrated build set builds a package as a library so this is the<br>
same thing. The doco is ...<br>

<br>
The first step is to build EPICS by hand to understand the process. After this a<br>
configuration (.cfg) file for the RSB can be created and then the package can be<br>
added to the packages built set ...<br>

<br>
Once we have a build set a simple example application can be added to<br>
rtems-examples. A configure test would look for the EPICS library or libraries<br>
and be built if present.<br>

<br>
I suggest a BSP like the Zedboard or MicroZed because the networking works with<br>
qemu and with qemu you do not need hardware plus qemu it has good debugging support.<br>
