CPU Model Dependent Features
============================
-CPUs of the Blackfin 53X only differ in the peripherals and thus in the
-device drivers. This port does not yet support the 56X dual core variants.

Count Leading Zeroes Instruction
--------------------------------
-The Blackfin CPU has the BITTST instruction which could be used to speed
-up the find first bit operation. The use of this instruction should
-significantly speed up the scheduling associated with a thread blocking.

Processor Background
--------------------
-The Blackfin architecture supports a simple call and return mechanism.
-A subroutine is invoked via the call (``call``) instruction.
-This instruction saves the return address in the ``RETS`` register
-and transfers the execution to the given address.

-It is the called funcions responsability to use the link instruction
-to reserve space on the stack for the local variables. Returning from
-a subroutine is done by using the RTS (``RTS``) instruction which
-loads the PC with the adress stored in RETS.

-and usage convention.

Register Usage
--------------
-A called function may clobber all registers, except RETS, R4-R7, P3-P5,
-FP and SP. It may also modify the first 12 bytes in the caller's stack
-frame which is used as an argument area for the first three arguments
-(which are passed in R0...R3 but may be placed on the stack by the
-called function).

Parameter Passing
-----------------
-RTEMS assumes that the Blackfin GCC calling convention is followed.
-The first three parameters are stored in registers R0, R1, and R2.
-All other parameters are put pushed on the stack. The result is returned
-through register R0.

Memory Model
============
-The Blackfin family architecutre support a single unified 4 GB byte
-address space using 32-bit addresses. It maps all resources like internal
-and external memory and IO registers into separate sections of this
-common address space.

Interrupt Processing
====================
-Discussed in this chapter are the Blackfin's interrupt response and

-interrupts.

Vectoring of an Interrupt Handler
---------------------------------
-RTEMS maps levels 0 -15 directly to Blackfins event vectors EVT0 -
-EVT15. Since EVT0 - EVT6 are core events and it is suggested to use
-EVT15 and EVT15 for Software interrupts, 7 Interrupts (EVT7-EVT13)
-are left for periferical use.

-When installing an RTEMS interrupt handler RTEMS installs a generic
-Interrupt Handler which saves some context and enables nested interrupt
-servicing and then vectors to the users interrupt handler.

Disabling of Interrupts by RTEMS
--------------------------------
-During interrupt disable critical sections, RTEMS disables interrupts to
-level four (4) before the execution of this section and restores them
-to the previous level upon completion of the section. RTEMS uses the
-instructions CLI and STI to enable and disable Interrupts. Emulation,
-Reset, NMI and Exception Interrupts are never disabled.

Interrupt Stack
---------------
-The Blackfin Architecture works with two different kind of stacks,
-User and Supervisor Stack. Since RTEMS and its Application run
-in supervisor mode, all interrupts will use the interrupted
-tasks stack for execution.
