Subject: BenchMark Apps for RTEMS

[Rempel, Cynthia]

Hi Vivek Krishnamurthy,

Thanks for agreeing to take on this big task!  A kit that will be useful for porting existing applications will really speed up the process of getting quality existing applications on RTEMS.  If you could ensure how to use and extend the framework is documented well enough for the average rtems developer, this will be be a very valuable tool.

I look forward to  testing it later this summer and providing feedback!

Cynthia Rempel

Hello Gedare/Cynthia

I am currently going thru' the RTEMS Development Environment Guide, the BSP and Device Drivers Development Guide and then finally the RTEMS Porting Guide to understand better the software architecture and the development environment and build system of RTEMS.

After that I plan to put together a list of Real Time Benchmark kits that are available openly.
As suggested by Gedare, the focus will be on designing & building a "kit framework" and using it to port few benchmark packages.

I have some knowledge of Makefile based build systems, but Waf will be something brand new. I will have to ramp up pretty heavily
on that if we go that way.
