Well, I need to trace all the components versions and report them when asked.
So, I want to be able to report, as minimum, RTEMS version and BSP version.

This will be OK for RTEMS version, just where is it defined? I wasn't able to 
find it in my 4.8.0. I found cpuopts.h file and it may be a decision...

Any way to trace the BSP versions?

Thanks!
