We should really try to consolidate the documentation. Having mostly the 
same stuff in different places is a maintenance problem. 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?
