Thanks to the success of Vinu Rajashekhar's Google Summer of Code project, we are pleased to announce that there is now support for the Go programming language, a new systems language, for RTEMS. Vinu successfully...
The Real-Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems or RTEMS is a full featured RTOS that supports a variety of open API and interface standards. Major decisions about RTEMS are made by the Steering Committee, guided by the Mission Statement. We encourage everyone to contribute changes and help testing RTEMS, and we provide access to our development sources with anonymous CVS and snapshots. We strive to provide regular, high quality releases, which we want to work well on a wide range of embedded targets using cross development from a variety of hosts including GNU/Linux, MS-Windows, FreeBSD, Mingw, Cygwin, and Solaris.
Google Summer of Code 2010
The RTEMS Project is proud to be included in the Google Summer of Code 2010. We have been busy in the off-season getting ready for potential students. We have updated the Open Projects and RTEMS Summer of Code pages in the Wiki and begun to promote GSOC. An RTEMS Project GSOC flyer is available as part of the standard GSOC downloads.
We now have a Fedora 12 RTEMS Development environment virtual image (torrent). This was created and tested using VirtualBox. The virtual image includes SPARC and i386 target support as well as Eclipse with the RTEMS plugin. Simulators are included for the SPARC/sis BSP and i386/pc386. A version of Qemu with coverage support is installed and configured to support testing networked applications with the pc386 BSP. Students without a dedicated Linux computer are encouraged to use this. See this page for more details.
We have a Google Docs Proposal Template we encourage you to follow. You should also be aware that we do NOT want you to fail so we require all students to do a simple hello world project to prove they can do something basic with RTEMS. Don't worry! We are friendly and will help as much as we can. Visit us at #rtems at freenode.net or join the mailing list.

I updated Drupal and Mediawiki this morning on the server to the latest and greatest version. This is a largely manual operation and although everything appears to be fine, I wanted to let everyone know something changed. So if you see an anomaly, please report it.

As June ends, it has been a month since the end of the bonding period. In this report, we find out what the students and mentors have accomplished in that time. Personally, I am impressed with the progress they have made. I encourage the community to communicate with and challenge the...

Today marks a new phase in the life of RTEMS, as we introduce the first 64-bit processor family, the SPARC V9 (sparc64). Gedare Bloom (GSOC 2010 student) and Eugen Leontie (husband of GSOC 2009 student) have worked diligently to port RTEMS to the SPARC V9 CPU and have provided two BSPs that...

Sometimes we don't realize how much time has passed since we last worked on something. In this case it was viewcvs.cgi. Chris Johns reported that it was crashing under certain conditions. A quick review said that we had a version dated 1999. It apparently served us well and quietly for 11...
