This table is not required for all +processors supported by RTEMS. This chapter describes the +contents, if any, for a particular processor type. + +@section CPU Dependent Information Table + +The i386 version of the RTEMS CPU Dependent +Information Table contains the information required to interface +a Board Support Package and RTEMS on the i386. This information +is provided to allow RTEMS to interoperate effectively with the +BSP. The C structure definition is given here: + +@example +@group +typedef struct @{ + void (*pretasking_hook)( void ); + void (*predriver_hook)( void ); + void (*idle_task)( void ); + boolean do_zero_of_workspace; + unsigned32 idle_task_stack_size; + unsigned32 interrupt_stack_size; + unsigned32 extra_mpci_receive_server_stack; + void * (*stack_allocate_hook)( unsigned32 ); + void (*stack_free_hook)( void* ); + /* end of fields required on all CPUs */ + + unsigned32 interrupt_segment; + void *interrupt_vector_table; +@} rtems_cpu_table; +@end group +@end example + +@table @code +@item pretasking_hook +is the address of the user provided routine which is invoked +once RTEMS APIs are initialized. This routine will be invoked +before any system tasks are created. Interrupts are disabled. +This field may be NULL to indicate that the hook is not utilized. + +@item predriver_hook +is the address of the user provided +routine that is invoked immediately before the +the device drivers and MPCI are initialized. RTEMS +initialization is complete but interrupts and tasking are disabled. +This field may be NULL to indicate that the hook is not utilized. + +@item postdriver_hook +is the address of the user provided +routine that is invoked immediately after the +the device drivers and MPCI are initialized. RTEMS +initialization is complete but interrupts and tasking are disabled. +This field may be NULL to indicate that the hook is not utilized. + +@item idle_task +is the address of the optional user +provided routine which is used as the system's IDLE task. If +this field is not NULL, then the RTEMS default IDLE task is not +used. This field may be NULL to indicate that the default IDLE +is to be used. + +@item do_zero_of_workspace +indicates whether RTEMS should +zero the Workspace as part of its initialization. If set to +TRUE, the Workspace is zeroed. Otherwise, it is not. + +@item idle_task_stack_size +is the size of the RTEMS idle task stack in bytes. +If this number is less than MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE, then the +idle task's stack will be MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE in byte. + +@item interrupt_stack_size +is the size of the RTEMS +allocated interrupt stack in bytes. This value must be at least +as large as MINIMUM_STACK_SIZE. + +@item extra_mpci_receive_server_stack +is the extra stack space allocated for the RTEMS MPCI receive server task +in bytes. The MPCI receive server may invoke nearly all directives and +may require extra stack space on some targets. + +@item stack_allocate_hook +is the address of the optional user provided routine which allocates +memory for task stacks. If this hook is not NULL, then a stack_free_hook +must be provided as well. + +@item stack_free_hook +is the address of the optional user provided routine which frees +memory for task stacks. If this hook is not NULL, then a stack_allocate_hook +must be provided as well. + +@item interrupt_segment +is the value of the selector which should be placed in a segment +register to access the Interrupt Descriptor Table. + +@item interrupt_vector_table +is the base address of the Interrupt Descriptor Table relative to the +interrupt_segment. + +@end table + +The contents of the i386 Interrupt Descriptor Table +are discussed in Intel's i386 User's Manual. Structure +definitions for the i386 IDT is provided by including the file +rtems.h. + |
