OpenRISC 1000 Specific Information
##################################

This chapter discusses the`OpenRISC 1000 architecture <http://opencores.org/or1k/Main_Page>`_
dependencies in this port of RTEMS. There are many implementations
for OpenRISC like or1200 and mor1kx. Currently RTEMS supports basic
features that all implementations should have.

**Architecture Documents**

For information on the OpenRISC 1000 architecture refer to the`OpenRISC 1000 architecture manual <http://openrisc.github.io/or1k.html>`_.

Calling Conventions
===================

Please refer to the`Function Calling Sequence <http://openrisc.github.io/or1k.html#__RefHeading__504887_595890882>`_.

Floating Point Unit
-------------------

A floating point unit is currently not supported.

Memory Model
============

A flat 32-bit memory model is supported.

Interrupt Processing
====================

OpenRISC 1000 architecture has 13 exception types:

- Reset

- Bus Error

- Data Page Fault

- Instruction Page Fault

- Tick Timer

- Alignment

- Illegal Instruction

- External Interrupt

- D-TLB Miss

- I-TLB Miss

- Range

- System Call

- Floating Point

- Trap

Interrupt Levels
----------------

There are only two levels: interrupts enabled and interrupts disabled.

Interrupt Stack
---------------

The OpenRISC RTEMS port uses a dedicated software interrupt stack.
The stack for interrupts is allocated during interrupt driver initialization.
When an  interrupt is entered, the _ISR_Handler routine is responsible for
switching from the interrupted task stack to RTEMS software interrupt stack.

Default Fatal Error Processing
==============================

The default fatal error handler for this architecture performs the
following actions:

- disables operating system supported interrupts (IRQ),

- places the error code in ``r0``, and

- executes an infinite loop to simulate a halt processor instruction.

Symmetric Multiprocessing
=========================

SMP is not supported.
