Can someone recommend a Quick Start that "just works"?

It's in my TODO list. It takes time to sweep through everywhere on
volunteer time. The use of sis in gdb has been the same for erc32 since
~1994 so there may be some lingering references even after hitting the
obvious ones.

This is a simple script to run one erc32 exe.

======================
#! /bin/bash

sparc-rtems5-sis -leon3 -nouartrx -r -tlim 200 s -m 4 $*
================

For use with gdb, add "-gdb" as an argument to sis. Run sis in one terminal
and "sparc-rtems5-gdb EXE" in another.

(gdb) target remote :1234
(gdb) load
(gdb) continue

You can abbreviate most of those commands.

Once this works for you, please take a shot at fixing the Users Guide and
wiki Hello World page. It would be nice to have some screen shots showing a
run and a gdb session. The wiki page should really reference the Users
Guide for most of the details. Nothing should be duplicated. Unfortunately,
it is.

I have been noting that this change occurred in June 2019 so any RTEMS
release or tool version before that date uses the old procedure and after
that date uses the new one.

I hope this helps.
