|
|
* @brief Hardware Abstraction Layer.
|
|
* @details Under ChibiOS the set of the various device driver interfaces
|
|
* is called the HAL subsystem: Hardware Abstraction Layer. The HAL is the
|
|
* abstract interface between ChibiOS applications and hardware.
|
|
*
|
|
* @section hal_device_driver_arch HAL Device Drivers Architecture
|
|
* The HAL contains several kind of modules:
|
|
* - Normal Device Drivers
|
|
* - Complex Device Drivers
|
|
* - Interfaces
|
|
* - Inner Code
|
|
* .
|
|
* @section hal_normal_device_drivers HAL Normal Device Drivers
|
|
* Normal device are meant to interface the application to the underlying
|
|
* hardware through an high level API. Normal Device Drivers are split in two
|
|
* layers:
|
|
* - High Level Device Driver (<b>HLD</b>). This layer contains the definitions
|
|
* of the driver's APIs and the platform independent part of the driver.<br>
|
|
* An HLD is composed by two files:
|
|
* - @p hal_@<driver@>.c, the HLD implementation file. This file must be
|
|
* included in the Makefile in order to use the driver.
|
|
* - @p hal_@<driver@>.h, the HLD header file. This file is implicitly
|
|
* included by the HAL header file @p hal.h.
|
|
* .
|
|
* - Low Level Device Driver (<b>LLD</b>). This layer contains the platform
|
|
* dependent part of the driver.<br>
|
|
* A LLD is composed by two files:
|
|
* - @p hal_@<driver@>_lld.c, the LLD implementation file. This file must be
|
|
* included in the Makefile in order to use the driver.
|
|
* - @p hal_@<driver@>_lld.h, the LLD header file. This file is implicitly
|
|
* included by the HLD header file.

|
|
* @section hal_complex_device_drivers HAL Complex Device Drivers
|
|
* It is a class of device drivers that offer an high level API but do not
|
|
* use the hardware directly. Complex device drivers use other drivers for
|
|
* accessing the machine resources.
|
|
*
|
|
* @section hal_interfaces HAL Interfaces
|
|
* An interface is a binary structure allowing the access to a service
|
|
* using virtual functions. This allows to create drivers that can be
|
|
* accessed using a common interface.
|
|
* The concept of interface is commonly found in object-oriented languages
|
|
* like Java or C++, their meaning in ChibiOS/HAL is exactly the same.
|
|
*
|
|
* @section hal_inner_code HAL Inner Code
|
|
* Some modules are shared among multiple device drivers and are not
|
|
* necessarily meant to be used by the application layer.

/**

* @defgroup OSAL OSAL
|
|
* @brief Operating System Abstraction Layer.
|
|
* @details <h2>The OSAL</h2>
|
|
* The OSAL is the link between ChibiOS/HAL and services
|
|
* provided by operating systems like:
|
|
* - Critical Zones handling.
|
|
* - Interrupts handling.
|
|
* - Runtime Errors management.
|
|
* - Inter-task synchronization.
|
|
* - Task-ISR synchronization.
|
|
* - Time management.
|
|
* - Events.
|
|
* .
|
|
* ChibiOS/HAL is designed to tightly integrate with the underlying
|
|
* RTOS in order to provide the best experience to developers and
|
|
* minimize integration issues.<br>
|
|
* This section describes the API that OSALs are expected to expose
|
|
* to the HAL.
|
|
*
|
|
* <h2>RTOS Requirements</h2>
|
|
* The OSAL API closely resembles the ChibiOS/RT API, for obvious
|
|
* reasons, however an OSAL module can be implemented for any
|
|
* reasonably complete RTOS or even a RTOS-less bare metal
|
|
* machine, if required.<br>
|
|
* In order to be able to support an HAL an RTOS should support the
|
|
* following minimal set of features:
|
|
* - Task-level critical zones API.
|
|
* - ISR-level critical zones API, only required on those CPU
|
|
* architectures supporting preemptable ISRs like Cortex-Mx
|
|
* cores.
|
|
* - Ability to invoke API functions from inside a task critical
|
|
* zone. Functions that are required to support this feature are
|
|
* marked with an "I" or "S" letter at the end of the name.
|
|
* - Ability to invoke API functions from inside an ISR critical
|
|
* zone. Functions that are required to support this feature are
|
|
* marked with an "I" letter at the end of the name.
|
|
* - Tasks Queues or Counting Semaphores with Timeout capability.
|
|
* - Ability to suspend a task and wakeup it from ISR with Timeout
|
|
* capability.
|
|
* - Event flags, the mechanism can be simulated using callbacks in
|
|
* case the RTOS does not support it.
|
|
* - Mutual Exclusion mechanism like Semaphores or Mutexes.
|
|
* .
|
|
* All the above requirements can be satisfied even on naked HW with
|
|
* a very think SW layer. In case that the HAL is required to work
|
|
* without an RTOS.
|
|
*
|
|
* <h2>Supported RTOSes</h2>
|
|
* The RTOSes supported out of the box are:
|
|
* - ChibiOS/RT
|
|
* - ChibiOS/NIL
|
|
* .
|
|
* Implementations have also been successfully created on RTOSes not
|
|
* belonging to the ChibiOS products family but are not supported
|
|
* as a core feature of ChibiOS/HAL.
