When I try to set priorities in certain programs, such as init_priority(HIGH_PRIORITY), I've noticed that during linking, there's no guarantee that the programs will be compiled in the sequence I've specified based on priority. This has led to some runtime errors in my program.
I realized that in the ld file, when initializing dynamic arrays, there's no assurance of initializing init_array.* before init_array. This has resulted in runtime errors in the program. Consequently, I've rearranged the init_array.* in the ld file of NuttX to be placed before init_array and added a SORT operation to init_array.* to ensure accurate initialization based on priorities during linking.
Currently the IHC (Inter Hart Communication) depends on OpenAMP and
rptun. However, the bootloader portion of the IHC doesn't need
either of them. Now they are wasting a lot of bootloader space.
Reorganize the bootloader portion into a separate file 'mpfs_ihc_sbi.c'.
This file contains the OpenSBI vendor extensions, or the only required
functionalities for the bootloader. On the other hand, 'mpfs_ihc.c'
contains the non-bootloader code.
This patch also makes it possible to utilize 2 RPMSG channels. This
has been tested so that 2 separate NuttXs on harts 1 and 2 communicate
with Linux kernel that runs on harts 3 and 4.
New configuration files are added as well:
- rpmsg-ch1: sample config for RPMSG
- rpmsg-ch2: sample config for another RPMSG channel
- rpmsg-sbi: sample bootloader config for RPMSG/OpenSBI
