======
This directory provides support for the two-pass build. Its primary
purpose is to incorporate source logic generated by applications into the
kernel phase of the build.
In the two pass build, the application logic is built during the first
phase, pass 1. In that phase, the application may generate and install
source files into the pass1/ directory.
The operating system is built during phase 2 of the build. At that time,
those source files in the pass1/ directory will be built and incorporated
into the kernel address space.
The primary purpose of the pass1/ directory is to such application-
generated kernel symbol tables. For an example of the use of this
feature, look at apps/examples/module/drivers/Makefile. Kernel symbol
tables are needed to support kernel modules.
Of course, addition board-specific logic in, say, at
boards/<arch>/<chip>/<board>/src would have to be included to make use of
the application-installed symbol tables.
