I think RTEMS itself should not be built as part of the tools.


Yes, only the tools should be built by default.

You can't win. You are building BSPs that are not wanted, likely in a
configuration that isn't the users, and not being able to test on end user
hardware while doing it.  Best not to build them. Users expect to build
their own RTEMS and we need to encourage them to test and report.

RSB release's default mode for building kernels

[Chris Johns]

Hi,

The current mode on all release branches is to build the RTEMS kernel. The
purpose was to have a single command that builds the tools and RTEMS. However
this means all BSPs for an architecture are built and this is not practical
because it slows a build and uses a larger amount of disk space when an
architecture has a larger number of BSPs so I am wondering if the default is
reversed.

Comments?
