title: Getting started with RTEMS on Archlinux
 | 
						|
---
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The default RTEMS geting started does not cover the toolchain setup as it should be. It either redirects the user to download a ~1 GB distro or some pretty old RPMs. This shouldn't be like this.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There is an excellent tool called ***rtems source builder*** which can help a newbie setup RTEMS environment in a brisk. This post is the authors journal about how he did it, shared beacuse it might be beneficial to people looking to bootstrap RTEMS.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
RTEMS is a real time operating system. It works on various type of hardware, and a devlopment setup is specific to the hardware of developers choice. Here I will demonstrate setting up a sparc toolchain with b-sis simulator.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Setting up toolchain
 | 
						|
First step of our RTEMS journey. A toolchain consists of a compiler, linker, debuggger and a simulator for the hardware. We need these tools to compile the RTEMS code and execute our programs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This was a painful step in past. Cross compiler environments are nasty to get right. But dont worry, we have our wonderful rtems-source-builder to rescue.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
rtems-source-builder automates the task of setting up this toolchain - it downloads the source files, builds them and installs in the system. It also have the option to make a tarball.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The actuall steps are documented here - [rtems-source-builder documentation][1], but if you prefer a capsule
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Setup directories and get source
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ cd
 | 
						|
$ mkdir -p development/rtems/src
 | 
						|
$ cd development/rtems/src
 | 
						|
$ git clone git://git.rtems.org/rtems-source-builder.git
 | 
						|
$ cd rtems-source-builder
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
- Check environment.
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ ./source-builder/sb-check
 | 
						|
RTEMS Source Builder environment is ok
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Build a sparc target
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ cd rtems
 | 
						|
$ ../source-builder/sb-set-builder --log=l-sparc.txt /
 | 
						|
--prefix=$HOME/development/rtems/4.11 4.11/rtems-sparc
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
this will produce binaries in `$HOME/development/rtems/4.11` directory.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
__Note__: Default version of makeinfo in archlinux is incomaptible with tools we build, source-builder documentations says
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
>Archlinux, by default installs texinfo-5 which is incompatible for building GCC 4.7 tree. You will have to obtain texinfo-legacy from AUR and provide a manual override.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
# pacman -R texinfo
 | 
						|
$ yaourt -S texinfo-legacy
 | 
						|
# ln -s /usr/bin/makeinfo-4.13a /usr/bin/makeinfo
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Building RTEMS
 | 
						|
- First obtain the RTEMS code from github.
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ cd
 | 
						|
$ mkdir -p development/rtems/repo
 | 
						|
$ cd development/rtems/repo
 | 
						|
$ git clone git@github.com:RTEMS/rtems.git
 | 
						|
$ cd rtems
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Bootstrap the rtems and build code.
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ export PATH=/home/dhananjay/build/rtems/4.11/bin:$PATH
 | 
						|
$ ./bootstrap
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Build a b-sis simulator code.
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ cd ..
 | 
						|
$ mkdir b-sis && cd b-sis
 | 
						|
$ ../rtems/configure --target=sparc-rtems4.11 --enable-rtemsbsp=sis --enable-tests=samples --enable-posix --prefix=/home/dhananjay/build/rtems/src/
 | 
						|
$ make
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Running example code.
 | 
						|
- Find the sample applications and execute them.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ cd sparc-rtems4.11/c/sis/testsuites/samples/hello
 | 
						|
$ ls
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
hello.exe  hello.num  hello.ralf  init.o  Makefile
 | 
						|
$ sparc-rtems4.11-run hello.exe
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*** GSOC HELLO WORLD TEST ***
 | 
						|
Hello RTEMS World
 | 
						|
Dhananjay Balan
 | 
						|
*** END OF HELLO WORLD TEST ***
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
*Update*: Newer versions of RSB builds RTEMS automatically, no manual intervention needed. You can skip this step altogether.
