Building RTEMS for a host?

[Thomas Doerfler]

Hello,

you are right, simulating a target on a host is quite efficent in many
cases. There are several ways to do this:

You can build RTEMS for one of the simulator targets. AFAIK the
following are supported:

PSIM (PowerPC Architecture), ERC32 (Sparc Architecture) and QEMU (which
at least simulates an i386). These targets are simulated inside a GDB
session. Other simulators might be usable aswell.

Another way to simulate RTEMS would be to build for a "posix" target,
with this target, your RTEMS software system will be compiled and linked
to a program executable that can be run on your host system (e.g Linux
system on a i386 machine). But AFAIK this method is no longer so heavily
used due to the benefits you get from the simulator approach.

wkr/mfg,

Thomas Dörfler.

In the documentation of RTEMS I always read about building RTEMS for a specific target. Is there a way to use RTEMS on a host, because the first testing activities for an application a more effective on a host?
