-@chapter Memory Model
-
-@section Introduction
-
-A processor may support any combination of memory
-models ranging from pure physical addressing to complex demand
-paged virtual memory systems. RTEMS supports a flat memory
-model which ranges contiguously over the processor's allowable
-address space. RTEMS does not support segmentation or virtual
-memory of any kind. The appropriate memory model for RTEMS
-provided by the targeted processor and related characteristics
-of that model are described in this chapter.
-
-@section Flat Memory Model
-
-RTEMS supports the i386 protected mode, flat memory
-model with paging disabled. In this mode, the i386
-automatically converts every address from a logical to a
-physical address each time it is used. The i386 uses
-information provided in the segment registers and the Global
-Descriptor Table to convert these addresses. RTEMS assumes the
-existence of the following segments:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item a single code segment at protection level (0) which
-contains all application and executive code.
-
-@item a single data segment at protection level zero (0) which
-contains all application and executive data.
-@end itemize
-
-The i386 segment registers and associated selectors
-must be initialized when the initialize_executive directive is
-invoked. RTEMS treats the segment registers as system registers
-and does not modify or context switch them.
-
-This i386 memory model supports a flat 32-bit address
-space with addresses ranging from 0x00000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF (4
-gigabytes). Each address is represented by a 32-bit value and
-is byte addressable. The address may be used to reference a
-single byte, half-word (2-bytes), or word (4 bytes).
-
-RTEMS does not require that logical addresses map
-directly to physical addresses, although it is desirable in many
-applications to do so. If logical and physical addresses are
-not the same, then an additional selector will be required so
-RTEMS can access the Interrupt Descriptor Table to install
-interrupt service routines. The selector number of this segment
-is provided to RTEMS in the CPU Dependent Information Table.
-
-By not requiring that logical addresses map directly
-to physical addresses, the memory space of an RTEMS application
-can be separated from that of a ROM monitor. For example, on
-the Force Computers CPU386, the ROM monitor loads application
-programs into a logical address space where logical address
-0x00000000 corresponds to physical address 0x0002000. On this
-board, RTEMS and the application use virtual addresses which do
-not map to physical addresses.
-
-RTEMS assumes that the DS and ES registers contain
-the selector for the single data segment when a directive is
-invoked. This assumption is especially important when
-developing interrupt service routines.
