size_rtems is (was) invoked during the build process and created a file
with the output.  I think it is in ${BSP}/lib/size_info.txt.

Unless you use the bare bsp method, BSPs reside under libbsp.  You would
like be creating and working in libbsp/sh/edk7045f.

The no_bsp/console driver does not support termios. I would suggest that
the sparc/erc32 and m68k/gen68360 are both fine examples of console
drivers supporting both polled and interrupt mode and termios.
