Suddenly, I move my interest to multi-core systems scheduling. (The setting for latest version RTEMS is here ) This article only contents the configuration you can use to build up the RTEMS with BSP realview_pbx_a9_qemu_smp , which delivered the kernel with SMP support and the official SMP example in RTEMS ver 4.11. (Suppose you have rtems cross compiler in your host with ver 4.11) To have a full test-suites for the smptest or sptest/mptest, the option of --enable-tests should be "yes". The BSP for SMP should be realview_pbx_a9_qemu_smp bsp rather than real-view_pbx_a9_qemu. I suppose you can follow the tutorial or instructions in Quick Start of RTEMS's documents and build up the toolchain of arm-rtems4.11. After you extract the source code and create a build folder: In the source code folder, you type: ./bootstrap In the build folder, you configure the installation: ../rtems/configure --target=arm-rtems4.11 --enable-rtemsbsp=realview_pbx_a9_qemu_smp --ena...
