-Initialization Manager
-**********************
-
-Introduction
-============
-
-The Initialization Manager is responsible for initializing the Board Support
-Package, RTEMS, device drivers, the root filesystem and the application. The
-:ref:`Fatal Error Manager <fatal_error_manager>` is responsible for the system
-shutdown.
-
-The Initialization Manager provides only one directive:
-
-- rtems_initialize_executive_ - Initialize RTEMS
-
-Background
-==========
-
-.. index:: initialization tasks
-
-Initialization Tasks
---------------------
-
-Initialization task(s) are the mechanism by which RTEMS transfers initial
-control to the user's application. Initialization tasks differ from other
-application tasks in that they are defined in the User Initialization Tasks
-Table and automatically created and started by RTEMS as part of its
-initialization sequence. Since the initialization tasks are scheduled using
-the same algorithm as all other RTEMS tasks, they must be configured at a
-priority and mode which will ensure that they will complete execution before
-other application tasks execute. Although there is no upper limit on the
-number of initialization tasks, an application is required to define at least
-one.
-
-A typical initialization task will create and start the static set of
-application tasks. It may also create any other objects used by the
-application. Initialization tasks which only perform initialization should
-delete themselves upon completion to free resources for other tasks.
-Initialization tasks may transform themselves into a "normal" application task.
-This transformation typically involves changing priority and execution mode.
-RTEMS does not automatically delete the initialization tasks.
-
-The Idle Task
--------------
-
-The Idle Task is the lowest priority task in a system and executes only when no
-other task is ready to execute. The default implementation of this task
-consists of an infinite loop. RTEMS allows the Idle Task body to be replaced by
-a CPU specific implementation, a BSP specific implementation or an application
-specific implementation.
-
-The Idle Task is preemptible and *WILL* be preempted when any other task is
-made ready to execute. This characteristic is critical to the overall behavior
-of any application.
-
-Initialization Manager Failure
-------------------------------
-
-System initialization errors are fatal. See :ref:`internal_errors`.

-This section details the Initialization Manager's directives. A subsection is
-dedicated to each of this manager's directives and describes the calling

-INITIALIZE_EXECUTIVE - Initialize RTEMS
----------------------------------------
-
-CALLING SEQUENCE:
- .. code-block:: c
-
- void rtems_initialize_executive(void);
-
-DIRECTIVE STATUS CODES:
- NONE - This function will not return to the caller.
-
-DESCRIPTION:
- Iterates through the system initialization linker set and invokes the
- registered handlers. The final step is to start multitasking.
-
-NOTES:
- This directive should be called by :c:func:`boot_card()` only.
-
- This directive *does not return* to the caller. Errors in the
- initialization sequence are usually fatal and lead to a system termination.
