Can I create an RTEMS BSP outside the RTEMS tree?

[Mike Looijmans]

Since our "board" (FGPA with LEON2 softcore and lots of custom logic) needs 
different memory addresses and needs to call "rtems_cache_coherent_add_area" 
before starting drivers, I've copied the "leon2" bsp and based our own on 
that. After figuring out how to make it compile (the trick being adding a 
magic file to "make/custom") it now works okay.

However, this now resides in the rtems.git repository, which isn't convenient 
for maintenance. Upstreaming this BSP is useless since it lives entirely 
inside an FPGA so you cannot buy it.

Is it possible to move this board's BSP code outside the rtems git without 
forking all of rtems? And if so, how?



Kind regards,
