Hello,

I would like to merge the "RTEMS BSP and Driver Guide", the "RTEMS Porting
Guide", parts of the "RTEMS CPU Architecture Supplement", the
https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/Coding/Conventions  and the
https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/Release  into a new document "RTEMS
Contributor Guide". The aim is to have a single document useful for RTEMS
contributors.

Things like the coding standard should be moved to "RTEMS Software Engineering
Standards". I said I would create this document but have not. I will try and do
that this weekend.

What is the scope of this new manual? Why can't this be a chapter in a manual containing everything of interest for a RTEMS developer/contributor (not an application developer using RTEMS)?


I am not sure about the other parts of the documents you refer too. I have not
looked at them in detail to where they could go where. We have a User Manual and
we will have a "RTEMS Software Engineering Standards" so do we need more
documents or should be looking to reduce the number we have?

I think the documentation for RTEMS contributors is too scattered (and horribly out of date, but this is another issue). It would be nice to have one document that covers:

* Source code structure
* CPU architecture porting
* BSP development
* Driver development
* Coding standards
* Release engineering
