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

Thank you everyone

I do understand the issue with getting everything done by volunteers having
been part of OSS for 20 years or so.

Two things that would make it easier to get going would be:
1) adding the erc32-sis patch to
https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/start/bsp-test.html
2) Fleshing out https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/start/app.html
with a brief compile and run example.

Thank you again, I very much appreciate the help.

Regards

Charles
