-\page short_introduction A 5 minute introduction to BeRTOS
-
-\section installation Installing BeRTOS on your system
-
-What do you need when developing an embedded project with BeRTOS?
-\li a toolchain for your CPU
-\li BeRTOS source code :)
-\li supporting binaries for BeRTOS build system
-\li supporting tools for BeRTOS Wizard
-
-See the <a href="">installation instructions page</a> online for help
-on installing BeRTOS on your system.
-
-Strictly speaking, BeRTOS doesn't need to be 'installed', you can just
-take .c files and compile them in your project.
-
-However, BeRTOS is a complex system with many dependencies between modules.
-It's not easy to track the dependencies for each module, so we have developed
-a set of tools to make dependency tracking automatic.
-
-Contact the <a href="http://forum.bertos.org">support forum</a> if you want
-help on using BeRTOS without the supporting tools. Be warned, though, that
-this method is not supported and we can only point you in the right direction.
-
-\section organization Project's organization
-
-Each project has its own full BeRTOS sources, configuration and HAL files.
-Why? Because we think that each project has its own life and it must not
-interfere with any other project.
-Let's say you use a shared BeRTOS version for all of your projects. Each
-time you update, you need to check that each and every project still works
-correctly. We don't want to do this (and I bet you don't want either).
-However, it's still easy to update a single project if you want to.
-
-A project named Foo is organized as follows:
-\li bertos/ - BeRTOS source directory
-\li Makefile - BeRTOS build system Makefile
-\li project.bertos - Wizard's configuration file
-\li foo/ - your project's main directory
-\li foo/hw/ - low level HAL files
-\li foo/cfg/ - configuration directory
-\li foo/foo_user.mk - makefile fragment that you can edit
-\li foo/foo.mk - makefile fragment changed by the Wizard, don't edit
-
-See <a href="">BeRTOS HAL system</a> for more information on HAL files.
-
-\section coding Coding guidelines
-
-Don't change configuration settings by hand, use the Wizard. This is because
-sometimes there are more actions to be done than simply changing a value.
-
-Include configuration files using "..." rather than <...> style, otherwise you
-will use default configuration values instead of your project's values.

\section history History and Motivation
BeRTOS was born as a extremely modular, highly optimized and fine-tuned
Most non-essential features can be configured out for applications with small
memory footprint requirements.
+The basic design principles are explained in the \ref oop page.
