<div>Unless your project requires you to use 4.10, I would
encourage you to use 4.11 (which is the current git
master, but should be released soon officially). I
personally have limited experience with 4.10.<br>

<div>Those "run" files point to simulators for the
respective targets to aid in running RTEMS applications.
These are part of the "RTEMS Toolset" in the pre-built
tools. The RTEMS Kernel is a set of libraries that you get
after you successfully configure, make, and "install"
RTEMS. Installing RTEMS on your development host machine
gives you the libraries that your application will link
against. (This should really all be explained
somewhere...)<br>

<div>The rad750 is not in the public release of RTEMS due to
ITAR. You should discuss this with other RTEMS users at
your institution if they have it, or you should contact
OAR Corp who I believe can handle the issue.<br>

Yep. The RAD750 BSP is an ITAR controlled. We will have to discuss
that privately. <br>
<br>
Which NASA center are you with?<br>
<br>
Which document states that the RAD750 is included in the standard
RTEMS distribution?<br>
That needs to be corrected. It can at most say "available and please
contact OAR".<br>

<div>I do not know why qemuprep does not work. You might
first like to try the "psim" BSP, which is the simplest
simulated powerpc BSP. psim runs within the
powerpc-rtems4.10-gdb, which is invoked by the
powerpc-rtems4.10-run command. If you build RTEMS with
psim you should be able to use powerpc-rtems4.10-run on
any of the compiled testsuites applications, such as
testsuites/samples/hello/hello.exe.<br>

Gedare is right here. Starting with a simulator in gdb is almost
always the easiest way<br>
to get started.<br>
<br>
The rtems-testing git repo has a directory named sim-scripts which
provide a simple<br>
interface for running these simulators. psim in particular takes a
LOT of arguments.<br>

<div>This looks like your host development machine is not
fully set up. Are you using cygwin? If you have access to
any Linux machines, you might have an easier time to get
started using one of them instead. Windows should work,
but it can be finicky and is generally less supported by
the RTEMS community.<br>

<div>Can you descend to find ticker.exe yourself? It should
be located in something like
i386-rtems4.10/c/i386ex/testsuites/samples/ticker/ticker.exe
in the build tree (or substitute powerpc/psim for
i386/i386ex).<br>

<div>These commands look right at a glance, especially using
powerpc and psim should work for sure. I take it there
were no errors during these commands? Based on the other
issues that you reported, I suspect the host development
machine does not have quite the right environment / tools
installed.<br>
