configuring RTEMS target optimization levels

[Mick Davis]

I can describe what I do and hope that it answers your question.

In the source tree c/src/lib/libbsp/<cpu>/<bsp>/make/custom/<bsp>.cfg I have

CPU_CFLAGS = -mcpu=arm926ej-s  -g

and

CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE_V = -O3

When the rtems libs are built they're optimised. There's no easy way I 
know of to get non-optimised rtems libs.

I build apps using as a template the rtems makefiles that get installed, 
eg installed as make/Templates/Makefile.leaf .

I use the ordinary 'make' to get an optimised app build, which uses the 
CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE_V flags.

Or I 'make debug' to get a non-optimised build, where CPU_CFLAGS are 
still used but CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE_V are not.
