What are 'porting' and 'configuration' of RapiDaemons

Before timing analysis can begin, it is essential to confirm that existing RapiDaemons operate as intended on a specific board. If they do not, it may be necessary to customize them to make them behave as they are designed to (a similar intention to a target integration, where we get the instrumented application software running on a specific target).

'Porting’ and ‘configuration’ of RapiDaemons are roughly equivalent terms in this context. For RapiDaemons to work as intended, they need to go through a configuration phase where their internal parameters are tuned as required. They’re then tested to ensure compatibility with the platform in question.

Each type of RapiDaemon may be implemented for a different instruction-set architecture and platform. While the main logic behind their behavior remains the same, they must be ported to execute correctly on each new platform.
