Board Configuration: basic_minuteia
######################################
Overview
********
The Zephyr Kernel uses the basic_minuteia board configuration
to emulate the galileo board (or something similar) running on QEMU.
It provides support for an x86 Minute IA CPU and the following devices:
* HPET
* Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC)
* NS16550 UART
.. note::
This board configuration makes no claims about its suitability for use
with actual galileo hardware, or any other hardware.
Supported Boards
****************
The basic_minuteia board configuration has been tested on QEMU 2.1.
Supported Features
******************
The basic_minuteia board configuration supports the following
hardware features:
+--------------+------------+-----------------------+
| Interface | Controller | Driver/Component |
+==============+============+=======================+
| HPET | on-chip | system clock |
+--------------+------------+-----------------------+
| APIC | on-chip | interrupt controller |
+--------------+------------+-----------------------+
| NS16550 | on-chip | serial port |
| UART | | |
+--------------+------------+-----------------------+
The kernel currently does not support other hardware features on this platform.
Interrupt Controller
====================
Refer to the :ref:`galileo`.
.. note::
The basic_minuteia board configuration does not support PCI.
HPET System Clock Support
=========================
The basic_minuteia board configuration uses an HPET clock frequency
of 25 MHz.
Serial Port
===========
The basic_minuteia board configuration uses a single serial
communication channel that uses the NS16550 serial driver
operating in polling mode. To override, enable the UART_INTERRUPT_DRIVEN
Kconfig option, which allows the system to be interrupt-driven.
Known Problems or Limitations
*****************************
The following platform features are unsupported:
* Isolated Memory Regions
* Serial port in Direct Memory Access (DMA) mode
* Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) flash
* General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
* Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
* Ethernet
* Supervisor Mode Execution Protection (SMEP)
* PCI
