    1010Most modern processors have Memory Management Unit Hardware built into the processor whose main functions are virtual address translation, memory protection and cache control. With RTEMS primarily focused on Embedded Real Time applications, making use of these MMU features especially Memory Protection is important to meet the needs of those applications that requires such support. RTEMS currently does not have MMU support and this project proposes to add this as part of the GSoC Programme.

     15 *  Collect the information needed for each MMU context
     16 *  Creating a suitable set of data structures from that collection
     17 *  Creating maybe one or two pictures showing how these data structures are organized
     18 *  Creating a sketch of a mid-level API; functions to create/query/remove/modify/switch the MMU context
     19 *  Exploring namespace for most of the beow mentioned terminologies

     31The middle layer of the implementation would be architecture independent. This would not just be APIs but is also the layer where the functionality of several actions are going to be present. The complete implementation can fit into the cpukit layer of RTEMS software architecture.
