@chapter Memory Model
|
|
|
|
@section Introduction
|
|
|
|
A processor may support any combination of memory
|
|
models ranging from pure physical addressing to complex demand
|
|
paged virtual memory systems. RTEMS supports a flat memory
|
|
model which ranges contiguously over the processor's allowable
|
|
address space. RTEMS does not support segmentation or virtual
|
|
memory of any kind. The appropriate memory model for RTEMS
|
|
provided by the targeted processor and related characteristics
|
|
of that model are described in this chapter.
|
|
|
|
@section Flat Memory Model
|
|
|
|
The XXX family supports a flat 32-bit address
|
|
space with addresses ranging from 0x00000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF (4
|
|
gigabytes). Each address is represented by a 32-bit value and
|
|
is byte addressable. The address may be used to reference a
|
|
single byte, word (2-bytes), or long word (4 bytes). Memory
|
|
accesses within this address space are performed in big endian
|
|
fashion by the processors in this family.
|
|
|
|
Some of the XXX family members such as the
|
|
XXX, XXX, and XXX support virtual memory and
|
|
segmentation. The XXX requires external hardware support
|
|
such as the XXX Paged Memory Management Unit coprocessor
|
|
which is typically used to perform address translations for
|
|
these systems. RTEMS does not support virtual memory or
|
|
segmentation on any of the XXX family members.
