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>

I get an error message indicating that a branch for the BSP (rad750) was not found. The same problem occurs when I try “qemuprep” for a “powerpc” BSP. The RTEMS Documentations I have, state that both the “rad750” and “qemuprep” are included in the standard RTEMS PowerPC BSPs distribution. What am I not doing correct, here?<u></u><u></u></span></p>

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>
</div><div><br></div><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>
