Remove the support to load the data section and rely on the boot loader. The code is an artifact from the old erc32 days, when we would boot and execute from ROM and the .data had to be copied over to RAM. With leon1/2/3, this is not used anymore as a boot loader is made from the RAM image using a custom tool (mkprom). In SMP configurations, this support was also broken since LEON3_Boot_Cpu (in the data section due to the -1 initialization value) was used quite early in the start sequence. If the data copy is really necessary, then an application can still add this step as a very early system initialization step, since boot_card() and the system initialization loop does not use initialized read-write data (only read-only and BSS data). However, the SMP startup would still not work in this case. A boot loader is a better place to load the sections.
Real-Time Executive for Multiprocessing Systems (RTEMS)
-------------------------------------------------------
RTEMS, Real-Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems, is a real-time executive
(kernel) which provides a high performance environment for embedded
applications with the following features:
- standards based user interfaces
- multitasking capabilities
- homogeneous and heterogeneous multiprocessor systems
- event-driven, priority-based, preemptive scheduling
- optional rate monotonic scheduling
- intertask communication and synchronization
- priority inheritance
- responsive interrupt management
- dynamic memory allocation
- high level of user configurability
- open source with a friendly user license
