Finally ... This is quite a big changeset, so I tried to make sure to separate
the changes into individual commits. Please don't squash!!
Please don't merge before everyone had the chance to take a look; these changes
go quite deep into a lot of parts of the firmware and I fear I might have
accidentally broken some things ...
WARNING: These changes break the API (hopefully for the last time ...)
The vector table's alignment requirements depend on the number of interrupts
(Cortex-M4 VTOR).
In our case, we have 0x6E(=110) interrupts and thus an alignment requirement
of 0x80(=128).
To satisfy this requirement, this commit moves the IVT to the beginning of
.text and enforces a 128 byte alignment. Please note that the headers which
come before .text will push the IVT to 0x100 instead of having it directly
in the beginning at 0x00.
6510d8dd feat(epicardium): Add switch for core 1 debugging
You can enable core 1 debugging by bootstrapping with
./bootstrap.sh -Ddebug_core1=true
904851ab fix(api): Fix API overlapping core 1 stack
Core 1 has its stack base at 0x20080000 which would overlap with the first
byte of the API parameter space. This patch moves the API further back to
prevent any weird behaviours being caused by this.
This allows Pycardium to learn which script it should start once it
boots. Arguments can only be read before any API calls are made.
Afterward they are lost.
To ensure they won't collide with anything during a core 1 restart,
they are offset by 0x20 from the start of the API buffer.
78a7e827 fix(api): Change interrupt idle value to -1
Previously 0 was used but as 0 is also the ID of the reset interrupt,
this could lead to weird behaviors.
1b8b490b fix(api): Make reset interrupt non-maskable
This commit introduces a way to control core 1. This is archieved by a
predefined API-Interrupt: The reset interrupt. When triggered, it will
bring the core back into its default state and wait for a new vector
address from Epicardium. Once this vector address is transferred, it
will start the new payload.
This method only works as long as core 1 is responsive to the API
interrupts. Cases where this might not be the case:
During times where core 1 has interrupts disabled
When in a higher priority exception handler
When core 1 has corrupted its IVT
bb54b68b chore(epicardium): Move dispatcher into own module
Also add a mutex around API calls in preparation for future changes.
37daca63 feat(epicardium): Add module for hardware init
Hardware initialization routines should not clutter main and instead belong
into the new epicardium/modules/hardware.c. Haven't moved anything yet,
though.
Also splits the init into two steps, hardware_early_init() which runs before
absolutely everything and hardware_init() for less critical stuff.
This commit introduces a lifecycle for core 1. Based on the new loading
system, a few APIs are made available to control the payload running on
core 1. These are:
From core 1 (Pycardium, L0dable):
epic_exec(name) API Call: Request loading of a new payload by
name. If the file does not exist, the call will return with an
error code. Otherwise, control will go to the new payload.
epic_exit(retcode) API Call: Return from payload
unconditionally. This call should be called whenever a payload is
done or when it has hit an unrecoverable error. On epic_exit,
Epicardium will reset the core back into the menu.
From inside Epicardium:
epic_exec(name): This is not the same as the API call, as it
needs a different implementation underneath. It will load a new
payload and wait until this load actually completed (synchroneous).
return_to_menu(): Return core 1 to the menu script no matter
what it is currently doing. This call is asynchroneous and will
return immediately after scheduling the lifecycle task. This task
will then take care of actually performing the load.
