RTEMS LibBSD Waf
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-You can find the Waf project here:
+Welcome to building LibBSD for RTEMS using Waf. This package is a library
+containing various parts of the FreeBSD kernel ported to RTEMS. The library
+replaces the networking port of FreeBSD in the RTEMS kernel sources. This
+package is designed to be updated from the FreeBSD kernel sources and contains
+more than just the networking code.
- http://code.google.com/p/waf/
+To build this package you need a current RTEMS tool set for your architecture,
+and a recent RTEMS kernel for your BSP configured with networking disabled
+built and installed. If you already have this you can skip to step 3 of the
+build procedure.
-Simple instructions on How to set up Waf is here:
+Waf Setup

+You can find the Waf project at:
-These instructions show you how to build and install RTEMS Tools, RTEMS kernel
-for your BSP in separate paths. Using separate paths for the tools and BSPs
-lets you manage what you have installed. If you are happy with a single path
-you can just the same path in each stage.
+ https://waf.io/
-We will build an ARM Realview PBX A9 QEMU BSP (arm/realview_pbx_a9_qemu).
+Waf is not intended to be installed by distribution packages so we recommend
+you download a recent waf version and install it in your home directory.
+
+Waf is a Python program so you will also need to have a current Python version
+installed and in your path.
+
+Download the latest signed executable file version to $HOME/bin and symlink it
+to waf. Add the directory $HOME/bin to your path if it is not already in your
+default path.
+
+Building and Installing LibBSD
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following instructions show you how to build and install RTEMS Tools and
+RTEMS kernel for your BSP in separate paths. Using separate paths for the tools
+and BSPs lets you manage what you have installed. If you are happy with a
+single path you can use the same path in each stage.
+
+The waf build support for RTEMS requires you provide your BSP name as an
+architecture and BSP pair. You must provide both or waf will generate an error
+message during the configure phase.
+
+We will build an ARM Realview PBX A9 QEMU BSP using the name
+'arm/realview_pbx_a9_qemu'.
