Comment (by Chris Johns):

 Replying to [comment:4 shashvat jain]:
 > Does this wiki already has a "development tools" page , the information
 is quite old , is it worth deleting these and adding a new one which are
 updated?

 No it does have one. A wiki page for this type of thing for RTEMS is
 difficult to get right. The issues are:
 1. Each version of RTEMS has a specific set of tools so a single page
 would not work.
 2. The tool matrix is complex with different versions of the various tools
 for different architectures and then differences for these for different
 hosts. You can see this my looking at the build output from the RSB on the
 `build` list, for example a recent ARM build
 (https://lists.rtems.org/pipermail/build/2018-November/001318.html)  The
 last section is the build report that lists the files and patches.
 3. The term "Tools" covers the compiler and its tools plus it now it
 includes the various eco-system tools. The size of the page would be large
 and getting all the detail right would be an busy long term task.
