16 // This module is similar to a traditional assembly startup file paired with a
17 // linker script. It turns out that everything typically done in ARMv7-M
18 // assembly startup can be done straight from C code. This makes startup code
19 // easier to maintain, modify, and read.
20 //
21 // Core initialization is comprised of two primary parts:
22 //
23 // 1. Load boot information from ARMv7-M Vector Table: The ARMv7-M vector table
24 //    (See ARMv7-M Architecture Reference Manual DDI 0403E.b section B1.5)
25 //    dictates the starting Program Counter (PC) and Stack Pointer (SP) when the
26 //    SoC powers on. The vector table also contains a number of other vectors to
27 //    handle different exceptions. This module does not provide a vector table,
28 //    but it does account for it in the linker script.
29 //
30 // 2. Initialize static memory: When execution begins due to SoC power-on (or
31 //    the device is reset), static memory regions must be initialized to ensure
32 //    they contains the expected values when code begins to run. The SoC doesn't
33 //    inherently have a notion of how to do this, so before ANYTHING else the
34 //    memory must be initialized. This is done at the beginning of
35 //    pw_boot_Entry().
36 //
37 //
38 // The simple flow is as follows:
39 //   Power on -> PC and SP set (from vector_table by SoC) -> pw_boot_Entry()
40 //
41 // In pw_boot_Entry():
42 //   Initialize memory -> pw_PreMainInit() -> main()

51 // The following extern symbols are provided by the linker script, and their
52 // values are accessible via the reference of the symbol.
53 //
54 // Example:
55 //   if (stack_pointer < &pw_boot_stack_low_addr) {
56 //     PW_LOG_ERROR("Main stack overflowed!")
57 //   }
58 
59 // pw_boot_stack_[low/high]_addr indicate the range of the main stack. Note that
60 // this might not be the only stack in the system.
61 //
62 // The main stack pointer (sp_main) should be initialized to
63 // pw_boot_stack_high_addr. This can be done by inserting the address into index
64 // 0 of the ARMv7-M vector table. (See ARMv7-M Architecture Reference Manual DDI
65 // 0403E.b section B1.5.3)

70 // heap.
