This is an unapproved draft. It is currently in progress and under review.
The RCE Developer Handbook describes the process of coding, building, and deploying RCE applications to RCEs running customized releases of RTEMS 4.9.x.
The Handbook draws from and extends material presented at the RCE Training Workshop at CERN, June 15-16, 2009 – in particular, the talk given by Stephen Tether: [RTEMS Basics and Introduction to Programmer's Development Cycle|CERN RCE Workshop Talks^RTEMS_and_Dev_Cycle_Intro.ppt].

<td>rce executables and libraries are coded in C+. Developers have access to the apis exposed by the rce core: rtems runtime (C), newlib (C), rce utilities (C), and dynamic linker (C+).<br/>
This chapter covers:<br/>
- Modules, runnable modules, and static libraries<br/>
- Coding rce modules<br/>
- Coding rce runnable modules<br/>
- Additional considerations for rce runnable modules<br/>
