32The RTEMS Configuration Table is used to tailor an
33application for its specific needs.  For example, the user can
34configure the number of device drivers or which APIs may be used.
35THe address of the user-defined Configuration Table is passed as an
36argument to the initialize_executive directive, which MUST be
37the first RTEMS directive called.  The RTEMS Configuration Table
38is defined in the following @value{RTEMS-LANGUAGE} @value{RTEMS-STRUCTURE}:

578The User Extensions Table is used to inform RTEMS of
579the optional user-supplied static extension set.  This table
580contains one entry for each possible extension.  The entries are
581called at critical times in the life of the system and
582individual tasks.  The application may create dynamic extensions
583in addition to this single static set.  The format of each entry
584in the User Extensions Table is defined in the following C

639extension is provided.
640
641@item thread_start
642is the address of the user-supplied
643subroutine for the TASK_START extension.  If this extension for
644task initiation is defined, it is called from the task_start
645directive.  A value of NULL indicates that no extension is
646provided.
647
648@item thread_restart
649is the address of the user-supplied
650subroutine for the TASK_RESTART extension.  If this extension
651for task re-initiation is defined, it is called from the
652task_restart directive.  A value of NULL indicates that no
653extension is provided.
654
655@item thread_delete
656is the address of the user-supplied
657subroutine for the TASK_DELETE extension.  If this RTEMS
658extension for task deletion is defined, it is called from the
659task_delete directive.  A value of NULL indicates that no
660extension is provided.
661
662@item thread_switch
663is the address of the user-supplied
664subroutine for the task context switch extension.  This
665subroutine is called from RTEMS dispatcher after the current
666task has been swapped out but before the new task has been
667swapped in.  A value of NULL indicates that no extension is
668provided.  As this routine is invoked after saving the current
669task's context and before restoring the heir task's context, it
670is not necessary for this routine to save and restore any
671registers.
672
673@item thread_post_switch
674is the address of the
675user-supplied subroutine for the post task context switch
676extension.  This subroutine is called from RTEMS dispatcher in
677the context of the task which has just been swapped in.
678
679@item thread_begin
680is the address of the user-supplied
681subroutine which is invoked immediately before a task begins
682execution.  It is invoked in the context of the beginning task.
683A value of NULL indicates that no extension is provided.
684
685@item thread_exitted
686is the address of the user-supplied
687subroutine which is invoked when a task exits.  This procedure
688is responsible for some action which will allow the system to
689continue execution (i.e. delete or restart the task) or to
690terminate with a fatal error.  If this field is set to NULL, the
691default RTEMS task_exitted handler will be invoked.
692
693@item fatal
694is the address of the user-supplied
695subroutine for the FATAL extension.  This RTEMS extension of
696fatal error handling is called from the fatal_error_occurred
697directive.  If the user's fatal error handler returns or if this
698entry is NULL then the default RTEMS fatal error handler will be
699executed.

787@item node
788is a unique processor identifier
789and is used in routing messages between nodes in a
790multiprocessor configuration.  Each processor must have a unique
791node number.  RTEMS assumes that node numbers start at one and
792increase sequentially.  This assumption can be used to advantage
793by the user-supplied MPCI layer.  Typically, this requirement is
794made when the node numbers are used to calculate the address of
795inter-processor communication links.  Zero should be avoided as
796a node number because some MPCI layers use node zero to
797represent broadcasted packets.  Thus, it is recommended that
798node numbers start at one and increase sequentially.
799
800@item maximum_nodes
801is the number of processor nodes in the system.
802
803@item maximum_global_objects
804is the maximum number of global objects which can exist at any
805given moment in the entire system.  If this parameter is not the
806same on all nodes in the system, then a fatal error is generated
807to inform the user that the system is inconsistent.
808
809@item maximum_proxies
810is the maximum number of proxies which can exist at any given moment
811on this particular node.  A proxy is a substitute task control block
812which represent a task residing on a remote node when that task blocks
813on a remote object.  Proxies are used in situations in which delayed
814interaction is required with a remote node.
815

817is the address of the Multiprocessor Communications Interface
818Table.  This table contains the entry points of user-provided functions

910@section Determining Memory Requirements
911
912Since memory is a critical resource in many real-time
913embedded systems, RTEMS was specifically designed to allow
914unused managers to be excluded from the run-time environment.
915This allows the application designer the flexibility to tailor
916RTEMS to most efficiently meet system requirements while still
917satisfying even the most stringent memory constraints.  As
918result, the size of the RTEMS executive is application
919dependent.  A Memory Requirements worksheet is provided in the
920Applications Supplement document for a specific target
921processor.  This worksheet can be used to calculate the memory
922requirements of a custom RTEMS run-time environment.  To insure
923that enough memory is allocated for future versions of RTEMS,
924the application designer should round these memory requirements
925up.  The following managers may be optionally excluded:
926
927@itemize @bullet
928@item signal
929@item region
930@item dual ported memory
931@item event
932@item multiprocessing
933@item partition
934@item timer
935@item semaphore
936@item message
937@item rate monotonic
938@end itemize
939
940RTEMS based applications must somehow provide memory
941for RTEMS' code and data space.  Although RTEMS' data space must
942be in RAM, its code space can be located in either ROM or RAM.
943In addition, the user must allocate RAM for the RTEMS RAM
944Workspace.  The size of this area is application dependent and
945can be calculated using the formula provided in the Memory
946Requirements chapter of the Applications Supplement document
947for a specific target processor.
948
949All RTEMS data variables and routine names used by
950RTEMS begin with the underscore ( _ ) character followed by an
951upper-case letter.  If RTEMS is linked with an application, then
952the application code should NOT contain any symbols which begin
953with the underscore character and followed by an upper-case
954letter to avoid any naming conflicts.  All RTEMS directive names
955should be treated as reserved words.

960@section Sizing the RTEMS RAM Workspace
961
962The RTEMS RAM Workspace is a user-specified block of
963memory reserved for use by RTEMS.  The application should NOT
964modify this memory.  This area consists primarily of the RTEMS
965data structures whose exact size depends upon the values
966specified in the Configuration Table.  In addition, task stacks
967and floating point context areas are dynamically allocated from
968the RTEMS RAM Workspace.
969
970The starting address of the RTEMS RAM Workspace must
971be aligned on a four-byte boundary.  Failure to properly align
972the workspace area will result in the fatal_error_occurred
973directive being invoked with the INVALID_ADDRESS error code.
974
975A worksheet is provided in the Memory Requirements
976chapter of the Applications Supplement document for a specific
977target processor to assist the user in calculating the minimum
978size of the RTEMS RAM Workspace for each application.  The value
979calculated with this worksheet is the minimum value that should
980be specified as the work_space_size parameter of the
981Configuration Table.  The user is cautioned that future versions
982of RTEMS may not have the same memory requirements per object.
983Although the value calculated is sufficient for a particular
984target processor and release of RTEMS, memory usage is subject
985to change across versions and target processors.  The user is
986advised to allocate somewhat more memory than the worksheet
987recommends to insure compatibility with future releases for a
988specific target processor and other target processors.  To avoid
989problems, the user should recalculate the memory requirements
990each time one of the following events occurs:
991
992@itemize @bullet
993@item a configuration parameter is modified,
994@item task or interrupt stack requirements change,
995@item task floating point attribute is altered,
996@item RTEMS is upgraded, or
997@item the target processor is changed.
998@end itemize
999
1000Failure to provide enough space in the RTEMS RAM
1001Workspace will result in the fatal_error_occurred directive
1002being invoked with the appropriate error code.
