There is a variety of documentation available for ROME. All
are available for download in the Portable Document Format (PDF) format.
ROME documents are written in LyX. LyX is a freely available
front end to LaTeX and can be downloaded at http://www.lyx.org.
The source code for ROME documents in LyX format can be obtained via CVS.

Older Documents
In this section you can find the documentation that came with the older version of RTB. Although the ROME configuration mechanism and RTB have changed, the information in these documents is still very valuable and can easily be transferred to the new environment.
Getting Started
The first document you should read is the "ROME Getting
Started" guide. It tells you how to set up your own ROME development
environment and lets you know what packages you need to download.

ROME Programmer's Guide
The ROME Programmer's Guide gives an introduction to software development
under ROME. It explains how ROME works internally and how you can exploit the
features of ROME to build your own application. It steps through a simple
'Hello World' example to explain the first steps towards your next ROME
project.

ROME Porting Guide
The ROME Porting guide explains how you can port ROME to your own hardware.
It uses the example of an Cyclone MicroSystems CVME965 Single Board Computer,
running an i960hd processor. Although this might not be your everyday hardware
platform, it gives a pretty good example of the porting process.
