Best way to update RTEMS?

[Wu, Mark H.]

I started with a fresh directory, ran configure and make, and it built fine. Is configure supposed to update the directory when a new pull is done, or is it make that's supposed to update things?

How did you update RTEMS ? I normally do a 'git pull'.

Just to clear up any misunderstanding, we use the term 'source'
directory for the location of the RTEMS source code we are building. We
term the 'installation' directory the locate the files the 'make
install' process installs RTEMS to, ie the configure's -prefix path.

What is your configure command line ?

What is the error ?

The error all depends on the point you took your initial build from.
There was a change in newlib that effected the RTEMS kernel source and
that requires an RSB update and a rebuild of your tools.

Please note, this type of change does not happen on releases and once
4.11 is released you will experience a stable environment.
