Hi, I wrote a post about the changes to the i386 architecture to accommodate virtual and native environments.
http://phipse.github.io/rtems/blog/2013/07/30/midterm-explanation/ I will send patches for cpukit/score/cpu/i386, c/src/lib/libcpu/i386 and c/src/lib/libbsp/i386. The first removes functions from score that use virtualization sensitive instructions like hlt, clt, sti. The second creates two new CPU models for i386: native and virtual, providing the functions removed from score. The third creates a new BSP called virtPok for the i386 architecture. The first two need a lot of review, I don't want to break things. You can test the patches either by applying them to git head or by cloning the virt-pok branch of my fork on github: https://github.com/phipse/rtems/tree/virt-bsp Build instructions for the virtualization hello world can be found in the blog: http://phipse.github.io/rtems/blog/2013/07/08/HelloWorld/ The build process for native i386 apps didn't change. I will send the patches as replies to this mail, please review them. I would be very happy to see them upstream. Cheers, Philipp _______________________________________________ rtems-devel mailing list rtems-devel@rtems.org http://www.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/rtems-devel
