@chapter Epiphany Specific Information
This chapter discusses the
@uref{http://adapteva.com/docs/epiphany_sdk_ref.pdf, Epiphany Architecture}
dependencies in this port of RTEMS. Epiphany is a chip that can come with 16 and
64 cores, each of which can run RTEMS separately or they can work together to
run a SMP RTEMS application.
@subheading Architecture Documents
For information on the Epiphany architecture refer to the
@uref{http://adapteva.com/docs/epiphany_arch_ref.pdf,Epiphany Architecture Reference}.
@section Calling Conventions
Please refer to the
@uref{http://adapteva.com/docs/epiphany_sdk_ref.pdf, Epiphany SDK}
Appendix A: Application Binary Interface
@subsection Floating Point Unit
A floating point unit is currently not supported.
@section Memory Model
A flat 32-bit memory model is supported, no caches. Each core has its own 32 KiB
strictly ordered local memory along with an access to a shared 32 MiB external
DRAM.
@section Interrupt Processing
Every Epiphany core has 10 exception types:
@itemize @bullet
@item Reset
@item Software Exception
@item Data Page Fault
@item Timer 0
@item Timer 1
@item Message Interrupt
@item DMA0 Interrupt
@item DMA1 Interrupt
@item WANT Interrupt
@item User Interrupt
@end itemize
@subsection Interrupt Levels
There are only two levels: interrupts enabled and interrupts disabled.
@subsection Interrupt Stack
The Epiphany RTEMS port uses a dedicated software interrupt stack.
The stack for interrupts is allocated during interrupt driver initialization.
When an interrupt is entered, the _ISR_Handler routine is responsible for
switching from the interrupted task stack to RTEMS software interrupt stack.
@section Default Fatal Error Processing
The default fatal error handler for this architecture performs the
following actions:
@itemize @bullet
@item disables operating system supported interrupts (IRQ),
@item places the error code in @code{r0}, and
@item executes an infinite loop to simulate a halt processor instruction.
@end itemize
@section Symmetric Multiprocessing
SMP is not supported.
