Sebastian Huber e8b28ba004 tools: Remove packhex
All tools should be removed from the RTEMS source repository at some
point in time.  Tools with a BSD-style license will be moved to the
RTEMS tools repository.  Unfortunately, this tool has no license
information.

Remove all uses of this tool from the code base.  Users of HEX files
should consider to use ELF instead.

Close #3379.

Notes about the MVME147 bsp

MVME147 port for TNI - Telecom Bretagne
by Dominique LE CAMPION (Dominique.LECAMPION@enst-bretagne.fr)
May 1996


This bsp is essentially based on the mvme136 bsp.

Summary of the modifications that were made:

 * include
 
   - bsp.h 
      Peripheral Channel Controller memory mapping
      Z8530 memory mapping
 
 * startup
 
   - bspstart.c
      main () setup for VME roundrobin mode
	      setup for the PCC interrupt vector base 
   - bspclean.c
      bsp_cleanup () disable timer 1 & 2 interruptions
   - linkcmds set the RAM start (0x5000) and size (4Meg - 0x5000)
   - setvec.c unchanged
   - sbrk.c unchanged
 
 * console
 
   - console.c taken from the dmv152 bsp (Zilog Z8530)
               with no modification
 
 * clock
 
   - ckinit.c entirely rewritten for the PCC tick timer 2
 
 * timer
 
   - timerisr.s and timer.c 
     entirely rewritten for the PCC tick timer 1
     now gives results un 6.25 us units (mininum timer delay,
     suprising big grain)
 
 * times
 
   - updated results for the mvme147 (beware of the 6.25 us grain)

 * Makefiles
   
   - compilation of shmsupp simply removed


To be done:

 * add VMEchip memory mapping to include/bsp.h

 * update the overheads in coverhead.h 

 * add support for serila ports 2,3 and 4.

Other notes:

 * There is no MP support (no more shmsupp) because I have no
   experience of the VME bus. The mvme136 shared memory support
   does not seem applicable on the VMEchip of the mvme147, so
   I don't know where to start. Suggestions are welcome.

 * All the timing tests and sp tests have been run except tmoverhd.
   The test hangs during the pause (where the task should be suspended
   until a return). Maybe the rtems_initialize_executive is no more
   reentrant with this bsp. 

Future work:

 * Add gdb serial remote support.

 * Shared memory support (I don't really need it, but I can do
   it if it's simple).

 * Message passing on VME bus, with Ada 95 annex E (distributed
   systems) in mind.
