RTEMS: A beginner...

[Alex]

Hi all,
My name is Nuno Costa, I am a computer science student, from Portugal, in the Msc degree.
I would like to make a research for my Msc using the RTEMS kernel...

This will be my first 'contact' with RTEMS.

I would like to receive some help from people who knows RTEMS if it is possible...

I would like to start from the beginning... any advices?

My target platform is intel 86...

My first doubt is: is it possible to install RTEMS kernell with a shell?

Many thanks

Nuno Costa
