However, the nature of real-time systems makes +it essential that the application designer understand certain +processor dependent implementation details. These processor +dependencies include calling convention, board support package +issues, interrupt processing, exact RTEMS memory requirements, +performance data, header files, and the assembly language +interface to the executive. + +This document discusses the VENDOR XXX +architecture dependencies in this port of RTEMS. The XXX +family has a wide variety of CPU models within it.

Within a processor family, there is a high level +of binary compatibility. This family may be based on either an +architectural specification or on maintaining compatibility with +a popular processor. Recent microprocessor families such as the +SPARC or PowerPC are based on an architectural specification +which is independent or any particular CPU model or +implementation. Older families such as the M68xxx and the iX86 +evolved as the manufacturer strived to produce higher +performance processor models which maintained binary +compatibility with older models. + +RTEMS takes advantage of the similarity of the +various models within a CPU family. Although the models do vary +in significant ways, the high level of compatibility makes it +possible to share the bulk of the CPU dependent executive code +across the entire family. Each processor family supported by +RTEMS has a list of features which vary between CPU models +within a family. For example, the most common model dependent +feature regardless of CPU family is the presence or absence of a +floating point unit or coprocessor. When defining the list of +features present on a particular CPU model, one simply notes +that floating point hardware is or is not present and defines a +single constant appropriately. Conditional compilation is +utilized to include the appropriate source code for this CPU +model's feature set. It is important to note that this means +that RTEMS is thus compiled using the appropriate feature set +and compilation flags optimal for this CPU model used. The +alternative would be to generate a binary which would execute on +all family members using only the features which were always +present. + +This chapter presents the set of features which vary +across SPARC implementations and are of importance to RTEMS. +The set of CPU model feature macros are defined in the file +cpukit/score/cpu/XXX/XXX.h based upon the particular CPU +model defined on the compilation command line. + +@subsection CPU Model Name + +The macro CPU_MODEL_NAME is a string which designates +the name of this CPU model. For example, for the MODEL +processor, this macro is set to the string "XXX". + +@subsection Floating Point Unit + +The macro XXX_HAS_FPU is set to 1 to indicate that +this CPU model has a hardware floating point unit and 0 +otherwise. It does not matter whether the hardware floating +point support is incorporated on-chip or is an external +coprocessor. + +@subsection Another Optional Feature + +The macro XXX +@c +@c COPYRIGHT (c) 1988-2002. +@c On-Line Applications Research Corporation (OAR). +@c All rights reserved. +@c +@c $Id$ +@c + +@section Calling Conventions + + +Each high-level language compiler generates +subroutine entry and exit code based upon a set of rules known +as the compiler's calling convention. These rules address the +following issues: + +@itemize @bullet +@item register preservation and usage +@item parameter passing +@item call and return mechanism +@end itemize + +A compiler's calling convention is of importance when +interfacing to subroutines written in another language either +assembly or high-level. Even when the high-level language and +target processor are the same, different compilers may use +different calling conventions. As a result, calling conventions +are both processor and compiler dependent. + +The Hitachi SH architecture supports a simple yet +effective call and return mechanism. A subroutine is invoked +via the branch to subroutine (XXX) or the jump to subroutine +(XXX) instructions. These instructions push the return address +on the current stack. The return from subroutine (rts) +instruction pops the return address off the current stack and +transfers control to that instruction. It is is important to +note that the MC68xxx call and return mechanism does not +automatically save or restore any registers. It is the +responsibility of the high-level language compiler to define the +register preservation and usage convention. + +@subsection Calling Mechanism + +All RTEMS directives are invoked using either a bsr +or jsr instruction and return to the user application via the +rts instruction. + +@subsection Register Usage + +As discussed above, the bsr and jsr instructions do +not automatically save any registers. RTEMS uses the registers +D0, D1, A0, and A1 as scratch registers. These registers are +not preserved by RTEMS directives therefore, the contents of +these registers should not be assumed upon return from any RTEMS +directive. + + +> > The SH1 has 16 general registers (r0..r15) +> > r0..r3 used as general volatile registers +> > r4..r7 used to pass up to 4 arguments to functions, arguments above 4 are +> > passed via the stack) +> > r8..13 caller saved registers (i.e. push them to the stack if you need them +> > inside of a function) +> > r14 frame pointer +> > r15 stack pointer +> + + +@subsection Parameter Passing + +RTEMS assumes that arguments are placed on the +current stack before the directive is invoked via the bsr or jsr +instruction. The first argument is assumed to be closest to the +return address on the stack. This means that the first argument +of the C calling sequence is pushed last. The following +pseudo-code illustrates the typical sequence used to call a +RTEMS directive with three (3) arguments: + +@example +@group +push third argument +push second argument +push first argument +invoke directive +remove arguments from the stack +@end group +@end example + +The arguments to RTEMS are typically pushed onto the +stack using a move instruction with a pre-decremented stack +pointer as the destination. These arguments must be removed +from the stack after control is returned to the caller. This +removal is typically accomplished by adding the size of the +argument list in bytes to the current stack pointer. + +@subsection User-Provided Routines + +All user-provided routines invoked by RTEMS, such as +user extensions, device drivers, and MPCI routines, must also +adhere to these calling conventions. + +@c +@c COPYRIGHT (c) 1988-2002. +@c On-Line Applications Research Corporation (OAR). +@c All rights reserved. +@c +@c $Id$ +@c + +@section Memory Model + + +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. + +@subsection Flat Memory Model + +The XXX family 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, word (2-bytes), or long word (4 bytes). Memory +accesses within this address space are performed in big endian +fashion by the processors in this family. + +Some of the XXX family members such as the +XXX, XXX, and XXX support virtual memory and +segmentation. The XXX requires external hardware support +such as the XXX Paged Memory Management Unit coprocessor +which is typically used to perform address translations for +these systems. RTEMS does not support virtual memory or +segmentation on any of the XXX family members. + +@c +@c Interrupt Stack Frame Picture +@c +@c COPYRIGHT (c) 1988-2002. +@c On-Line Applications Research Corporation (OAR). +@c All rights reserved. +@c +@c $Id$ +@c + +@section Interrupt Processing + + +Different types of processors respond to the +occurrence of an interrupt in its own unique fashion. In +addition, each processor type provides a control mechanism to +allow for the proper handling of an interrupt. The processor +dependent response to the interrupt modifies the current +execution state and results in a change in the execution stream. +Most processors require that an interrupt handler utilize some +special control mechanisms to return to the normal processing +stream. Although RTEMS hides many of the processor dependent +details of interrupt processing, it is important to understand +how the RTEMS interrupt manager is mapped onto the processor's +unique architecture. Discussed in this chapter are the SH's +interrupt response and control mechanisms as they pertain to +RTEMS. + +@subsection Vectoring of an Interrupt Handler + +Depending on whether or not the particular CPU +supports a separate interrupt stack, the SH family has two +different interrupt handling models. + +@subsubsection Models Without Separate Interrupt Stacks + +Upon receipt of an interrupt the SH family +members without separate interrupt stacks automatically perform +the following actions: + +@itemize @bullet +@item To Be Written +@end itemize + +@subsubsection Models With Separate Interrupt Stacks + +Upon receipt of an interrupt the SH family +members with separate interrupt stacks automatically perform the +following actions: + +@itemize @bullet +@item saves the current status register (SR), + +@item clears the master/interrupt (M) bit of the SR to +indicate the switch from master state to interrupt state, + +@item sets the privilege mode to supervisor, + +@item suppresses tracing, + +@item sets the interrupt mask level equal to the level of the +interrupt being serviced, + +@item pushes an interrupt stack frame (ISF), which includes +the program counter (PC), the status register (SR), and the +format/exception vector offset (FVO) word, onto the supervisor +and interrupt stacks, + +@item switches the current stack to the interrupt stack and +vectors to an interrupt service routine (ISR). If the ISR was +installed with the interrupt_catch directive, then the RTEMS +interrupt handler will begin execution. The RTEMS interrupt +handler saves all registers which are not preserved according to +the calling conventions and invokes the application's ISR. +@end itemize + +A nested interrupt is processed similarly by these +CPU models with the exception that only a single ISF is placed +on the interrupt stack and the current stack need not be +switched. + +The FVO word in the Interrupt Stack Frame is examined +by RTEMS to determine when an outer most interrupt is being +exited. Since the FVO is used by RTEMS for this purpose, the +user application code MUST NOT modify this field. + +The following shows the Interrupt Stack Frame for +XXX CPU models with separate interrupt stacks: + +@ifset use-ascii +@example +@group + +----------------------+ + | Status Register | 0x0 + +----------------------+ + | Program Counter High | 0x2 + +----------------------+ + | Program Counter Low | 0x4 + +----------------------+ + | Format/Vector Offset | 0x6 + +----------------------+ +@end group +@end example +@end ifset + +@ifset use-tex +@sp 1 +@tex +\centerline{\vbox{\offinterlineskip\halign{ +\strut\vrule#& +\hbox to 2.00in{\enskip\hfil#\hfil}& +\vrule#& +\hbox to 0.50in{\enskip\hfil#\hfil} +\cr +\multispan{3}\hrulefill\cr +& Status Register && 0x0\cr +\multispan{3}\hrulefill\cr +& Program Counter High && 0x2\cr +\multispan{3}\hrulefill\cr +& Program Counter Low && 0x4\cr +\multispan{3}\hrulefill\cr +& Format/Vector Offset && 0x6\cr +\multispan{3}\hrulefill\cr +}}\hfil} +@end tex +@end ifset + +@ifset use-html +@html +<CENTER> + <TABLE COLS=2 WIDTH="40%" BORDER=2> +<TR><TD ALIGN=center><STRONG>Status Register</STRONG></TD> + <TD ALIGN=center>0x0</TD></TR> +<TR><TD ALIGN=center><STRONG>Program Counter High</STRONG></TD> + <TD ALIGN=center>0x2</TD></TR> +<TR><TD ALIGN=center><STRONG>Program Counter Low</STRONG></TD> + <TD ALIGN=center>0x4</TD></TR> +<TR><TD ALIGN=center><STRONG>Format/Vector Offset</STRONG></TD> + <TD ALIGN=center>0x6</TD></TR> + </TABLE> +</CENTER> +@end html +@end ifset + +@subsection Interrupt Levels + +Eight levels (0-7) of interrupt priorities are +supported by XXX family members with level seven (7) being +the highest priority. Level zero (0) indicates that interrupts +are fully enabled. Interrupt requests for interrupts with +priorities less than or equal to the current interrupt mask +level are ignored. + +Although RTEMS supports 256 interrupt levels, the +XXX family only supports eight. RTEMS interrupt levels 0 +through 7 directly correspond to XXX interrupt levels. All +other RTEMS interrupt levels are undefined and their behavior is +unpredictable. + +@subsection Disabling of Interrupts by RTEMS + +During the execution of directive calls, critical +sections of code may be executed. When these sections are +encountered, RTEMS disables interrupts to level seven (7) before +the execution of this section and restores them to the previous +level upon completion of the section. RTEMS has been optimized +to insure that interrupts are disabled for less than +RTEMS_MAXIMUM_DISABLE_PERIOD microseconds on a +RTEMS_MAXIMUM_DISABLE_PERIOD_MHZ Mhz XXX with +zero wait states. These numbers will vary based the +number of wait states and processor speed present on the target board. +[NOTE: The maximum period with interrupts disabled is hand calculated. This +calculation was last performed for Release +RTEMS_RELEASE_FOR_MAXIMUM_DISABLE_PERIOD.] + +Non-maskable interrupts (NMI) cannot be disabled, and +ISRs which execute at this level MUST NEVER issue RTEMS system +calls. If a directive is invoked, unpredictable results may +occur due to the inability of RTEMS to protect its critical +sections. However, ISRs that make no system calls may safely +execute as non-maskable interrupts. + +@subsection Interrupt Stack + +RTEMS allocates the interrupt stack from the +Workspace Area. The amount of memory allocated for the +interrupt stack is determined by the interrupt_stack_size field +in the CPU Configuration Table. During the initialization +process, RTEMS will install its interrupt stack. + +The XXX port of RTEMS supports a software managed +dedicated interrupt stack on those CPU models which do not +support a separate interrupt stack in hardware. + + +@c +@c COPYRIGHT (c) 1988-2002. +@c On-Line Applications Research Corporation (OAR). +@c All rights reserved. +@c +@c $Id$ +@c + +@section Default Fatal Error Processing + + +Upon detection of a fatal error by either the +application or RTEMS the fatal error manager is invoked. The +fatal error manager will invoke the user-supplied fatal error +handlers. If no user-supplied handlers are configured, the +RTEMS provided default fatal error handler is invoked. If the +user-supplied fatal error handlers return to the executive the +default fatal error handler is then invoked. This chapter +describes the precise operations of the default fatal error +handler. + +@subsection Default Fatal Error Handler Operations + +The default fatal error handler which is invoked by +the @code{rtems_fatal_error_occurred} directive when there is +no user handler configured or the user handler returns control to +RTEMS. The default fatal error handler disables processor interrupts, +places the error code in @b{XXX}, and executes a @code{XXX} +instruction to simulate a halt processor instruction. + +@c +@c COPYRIGHT (c) 1988-2002. +@c On-Line Applications Research Corporation (OAR). +@c All rights reserved. +@c +@c $Id$ +@c + +@section Board Support Packages + + +An RTEMS Board Support Package (BSP) must be designed +to support a particular processor and target board combination. +This chapter presents a discussion of XXX specific BSP +issues. For more information on developing a BSP, refer to the +chapter titled Board Support Packages in the RTEMS +Applications User's Guide. + +@subsection System Reset + +An RTEMS based application is initiated or +re-initiated when the XXX processor is reset. When the +XXX is reset, the processor performs the following actions: + +@itemize @bullet +@item The tracing bits of the status register are cleared to +disable tracing. + +@item The supervisor interrupt state is entered by setting the +supervisor (S) bit and clearing the master/interrupt (M) bit of +the status register. + +@item The interrupt mask of the status register is set to +level 7 to effectively disable all maskable interrupts. + +@item The vector base register (VBR) is set to zero. + +@item The cache control register (CACR) is set to zero to +disable and freeze the processor cache. + +@item The interrupt stack pointer (ISP) is set to the value +stored at vector 0 (bytes 0-3) of the exception vector table +(EVT). + +@item The program counter (PC) is set to the value stored at +vector 1 (bytes 4-7) of the EVT. + +@item The processor begins execution at the address stored in +the PC. +@end itemize + +@subsection Processor Initialization + +The address of the application's initialization code +should be stored in the first vector of the EVT which will allow +the immediate vectoring to the application code. If the +application requires that the VBR be some value besides zero, +then it should be set to the required value at this point. All +tasks share the same XXX's VBR value. Because interrupts +are enabled automatically by RTEMS as part of the initialize +executive directive, the VBR MUST be set before this directive +is invoked to insure correct interrupt vectoring. If processor +caching is to be utilized, then it should be enabled during the +reset application initialization code. + +In addition to the requirements described in the +Board Support Packages chapter of the Applications User's +Manual for the reset code which is executed before the call to +initialize executive, the XXX version has the following +specific requirements: + +@itemize @bullet +@item Must leave the S bit of the status register set so that +the XXX remains in the supervisor state. + +@item Must set the M bit of the status register to remove the +XXX from the interrupt state. + +@item Must set the master stack pointer (MSP) such that a +minimum stack size of MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE bytes is provided for +the initialize executive directive. + +@item Must initialize the XXX's vector table. +@end itemize + +Note that the BSP is not responsible for allocating +or installing the interrupt stack. RTEMS does this +automatically as part of initialization. If the BSP does not +install an interrupt stack and -- for whatever reason -- an +interrupt occurs before initialize_executive is invoked, then +the results are unpredictable. + +@c +@c COPYRIGHT (c) 1988-2002. +@c On-Line Applications Research Corporation (OAR). +@c All rights reserved. +@c +@c $Id$ +@c + +@section Processor Dependent Information Table + + +Any highly processor dependent information required +to describe a processor to RTEMS is provided in the CPU +Dependent Information Table.
