When authoring a new BSP, it is best to focus on hello world and then
ticker. With those working, all of the tests in RTEMS.git should be ok. So
third is testing using RTEMS tester

Then focus on additional capabilities like adding individual devices
drivers, SMP, etc.

But if you cannot run hello and ticker, nothing else will be worth running
