Trouble Getting Started

[Jacob Saina]

Hello,

I'm new to RTEMS and am confused about some things. I'm able to build and
simulate examples for the erc32, but not any arm boards I've tried
(beagleboneblack, raspberrypi2, xilinx_zynq_zc706). Any help is appreciated.

1) Is it correct to build rsb and rtems using the master branches of their
git repositories? I had been using the 4.11 tags for both of these. Today I
tried master and I can't even build rsb.

2) What are the current stable versions of the rtems kernel and rsb? More
importantly, where is this information located?

3) The *.exe files that get built (e.g. both_hello.exe from the examples-v2
repo)  -- these are full images containing the kernel and application,
correct? Is there a good resource with an example for preparing the image
to run on (any arm) hardware?

4) What does <arch>-rtems<version>-run use to simulate the application?

5) The test suite applications seemed to successfully build for the arm
architectures I tried, but when attempting to run them, there is no output.
Depending on the application and bsp, arm-rtems4.11-run will exit with an
code of 48, or 0. sparc-rtems4.11-run produced the expected output with its
test suite applications. What does this lack of output mean?

Thank you,
Jacob Saina
