A subsection is dedicated to each of this manager's directives and describes the calling sequence, related constants, usage, and status codes. .. raw:: latex \clearpage .. index:: initialize RTEMS .. index:: start multitasking .. index:: rtems_initialize_executive .. _rtems_initialize_executive: 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.
