The RTEMS Project is proud to announce the availability of the 6.1 release of RTEMS. It is available from https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/releases/6/6.1/ which includes formatted documentation, all source code, and generated Doxygen. The core developers are quite proud of this release with many features added or improved. The build system has been changed from GNU autoconf/automake to the Python based Waf which has resulted in much faster build times.

OAR will have an RTEMS Training class in November 2023!

This training session is open to anyone interested in learning about RTEMS. The training class is 5 days (Monday - Friday), typically 8am to 5pm Central Time with a lunch break. Monday covers the RTEMS Kick Start, which describes setting up the RTEMS development environment. Then, Tuesday through Friday is the Open Class, which includes an introduction to Real-Time systems, the RTEMS Classic API (POSIX based), and sections describing Board Support Package (BSP) and Device Driver development.

BepiColombo made the news this week with a close flyover of Mercury (~235KM) and sent back pictures. Great accomplishment from an RTEMS mission!
