The work areas (RTEMS work space and C program heap) will be initialized now in a separate step and are no longer part of rtems_initialize_data_structures(). Initialization is performed with tables of Heap_Area entries. This allows usage of scattered memory areas present on various small scale micro-controllers. The sbrk() support API changes also. The bsp_sbrk_init() must now deal with a minimum size for the first memory chunk to take the configured work space size into account.
This directory contains for the "miscellaneous" library. Currently this library contains a number of useful support libraries: + Task Stack Overflow Checker + Workspace Consistency Checker + Task Execution Time Monitor + Period Statistics Monitor + Debug Monitor The following ideas have been mentioned for items which could go in this library, but this list is not all inclusive: + there are no outstanding suggestions. The intent of this library is to provide a home for useful utility routines which are dependent upon RTEMS. --joel 16 Sept 97
