Architecture-Specific Code ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Table of Contents ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ o Architecture-Specific Code o Summary of Files o Supported Architectures o Configuring NuttX Architecture-Specific Code ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The NuttX configuration consists of: o Processor architecture specific files. These are the files contained in the arch// directory discussed in this README. o Chip/SoC specific files. Each processor processor architecture is embedded in chip or System-on-a-Chip (SoC) architecture. The full chip architecture includes the processor architecture plus chip-specific interrupt logic, general purpose I/O (GIO) logic, and specialized, internal peripherals (such as UARTs, USB, etc.). These chip-specific files are contained within chip-specific sub-directories in the arch// directory and are selected via the CONFIG_ARCH_name selection o Board specific files. In order to be usable, the chip must be contained in a board environment. The board configuration defines additional properties of the board including such things as peripheral LEDs, external peripherals (such as network, USB, etc.). These board-specific configuration files can be found in the boards/// sub-directories. This README will address the processor architecture specific files that are contained in the arch// directory. The file include/nuttx/arch.h identifies all of the APIs that must be provided by this architecture specific logic. (It also includes arch//arch.h as described below). Directory Structure ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The arch/ directory contains architecture-specific logic. The complete board port is defined by the architecture-specific code in this directory plus the board-specific configurations in the config/ subdirectory. Each architecture must provide a subdirectory under arch/ with the following characteristics: / |-- include/ | |--/ | | `-- (chip-specific header files) | |--/ | |-- arch.h | |-- irq.h | `-- types.h `-- src/ |--/ | `-- (chip-specific source files) |--/ |-- Makefile `-- (architecture-specific source files) Summary of Files ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ include// This sub-directory contains chip-specific header files. include/arch.h This is a hook for any architecture specific definitions that may be needed by the system. It is included by include/nuttx/arch.h include/types.h This provides architecture/toolchain-specific definitions for standard types. This file should typedef: _int8_t, _uint8_t, _int16_t, _uint16_t, _int32_t, _uint32_t and if the architecture supports 64-bit integers: _int24_t, _uint24_t, _int64_t, _uint64_t NOTE that these type names have a leading underscore character. This file will be included(indirectly) by include/stdint.h and typedef'ed to the final name without the underscore character. This roundabout way of doings things allows the stdint.h to be removed from the include/ directory in the event that the user prefers to use the definitions provided by their toolchain header files. irqstate_t Must be defined to the be the size required to hold the interrupt enable/disable state. This file will be included by include/sys/types.h and be made available to all files. include/irq.h This file needs to define some architecture-specific functions (usually inline if the compiler supports inlining) and structures. These include: - struct xcptcontext. This structure represents the saved context of a thread. - irqstate_t up_irq_save(void) -- Used to disable all interrupts. - void upirq_restore(irqstate_t flags) -- Used to restore interrupt enables to the same state as before up_irq_save was called. NOTE: These interfaces are not available to application code but can only be used within the operating system code. And, in general, these functions should *never* be called directly, not unless you know absolutely well what you are doing. Rather you shoudl typically use the wrapper functions enter_critical_section() and leave_critical_section() as prototyped in include/nuttx/irq.h. This file must also define NR_IRQS, the total number of IRQs supported by the board. src// This sub-directory contains chip-specific source files. src/Makefile This makefile will be executed to build the targets src/libup.a and src/up_head.o. The up_head.o file holds the entry point into the system (power-on reset entry point, for example). It will be used in the final link with libup.a and other system archives to generate the final executable. Supported Architectures ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ NOTE: nuttx/Documentation/NuttX.html for current information about the state of these MCU ports. arch/sim - Linux/Cygwin simulation A user-mode port of NuttX to the x86 Linux platform is available. The purpose of this port is primarily to support OS feature development. This port does not support interrupts or a real timer (and hence no round robin scheduler) Otherwise, it is complete. arch/arm - ARM-based micro-controllers This directory holds common ARM architectures.
