From 5c8308c7ef5f4e528389ef7787dfc5e87d0a16d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wojtek Kosior Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2020 20:26:34 +0100 Subject: add UART-related TODO needed for compatibility with stock firmware --- TODOs | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'TODOs') diff --git a/TODOs b/TODOs index af2bf64..9143a9b 100644 --- a/TODOs +++ b/TODOs @@ -70,6 +70,8 @@ high priority TODOs are higher; low priority ones and completed ones are lower; * Check if setting user mode's sp and lr can be achieved by msr instead of switching to system mode. If so, use this method. +* Explicitly select PL011 UART for communication on GPIO 14 & 15 (right now it is already selected when using rpi-open-firmware, but stock firmware on RPi 3 has miniUART there as default; perhaps this is all, that is needed to run the kernel under stock firmware). This is done with alternative function assignments - described in BCM2835 ARM Peripherals + * partially DONE - one can always add more, but we have the most important stuff * Implement some basic utilities for us to use (memcpy, printf, etc...) * partailly DONE - svc works; once we implement processes we could also kill them on aborts * develop userspace process supervision (handling of interrupt caused by svc instruction, proper handling of other data abort, undefined instruction, etc.) -- cgit v1.2.3
