The interrupts from that timer are not, however, routed to any ARM core under rpi-open-firmware, but rather to the GPU. Because of that, we ended using the ARM side Timer (programmed in src/arm/PL1/kernel/armclock.h). The ARM side Timer based on ARM AP804 is currently only available on real hardware and not in qemu. Programming the ARM Generic Timer (listed in TODOs) could enable the use of timer interrupts in qemu. + + + +This project has been done as part of the Embedded Systems course on AGH University of Science and Technology <link>. The goal of the project was to investigate and program the MMU (Memory Management Unit) of the RaspberryPi, but ended up to form a basis of a small operating system. +RaspberyPi 3 model B <link> was the hardware platform used, with stock firmware replaced with rpi-open-firmware <link>.
