The intention of the Quick Start chapter is to get started quickly step by step on a simulator platform which is able to run the RTEMS test suite properly. You should be able to use it as a template for your desired target system. Getting started on a simulator platform should be the right thing for a GSoC student?<br>

The concern is that the Quick Start includes a lot of extra material<br>
that makes it not so "Quick" to use. There are also many decisions<br>
that need to be made when following the quick start that makes it not<br>
exactly a linear set of directions.<br>
<br>
That said, I agree that consolidation is important. Niteesh, would you<br>
be willing to draft a subsection in the Quick Start (maybe near the<br>
beginning) that provides a set of instructions to walk-through the<br>
remainder of the quick start oriented toward GSoC students, pointing<br>
out the decision to make at each "decision point" -- such as, In<br>
Section 2.3 use the "Git" instructions; in Section 2.6 use the "Manual<br>
BSP Build", etc. These should be written as linked references to those<br>
sections/subsection names.<br>
