HAL Port — Implementation Details

Overview

This documentation explains how the eCos HAL specification has been mapped onto the ARM Aarch32 Virtual Machine, and should be read in conjunction with that specification. The platform HAL package complements the ARM architectural HAL, the Cortex-A variant HAL and the VIRTUAL variant HAL. It provides functionality which is specific to the target board.

Startup

Following a reset, the HAL will initialize or reinitialize most of the on-chip peripherals. There is an exception for RAM startup applications which depend on a ROM monitor for certain services.
