Also implement some ordering (quite ugly still) in the module init and task creation order so we can decide which module to start/init first
and which module to start/init last.
This will be replaced/adapter with the uavobject list later (once it's implemented).
reserving some space for module init and task create parameters to customize module/task creation (this will be usefull once we get the list and customization from customer).
Changes have been made for OP and CC. Tested comped with CC,OP, sim_posix.
Only ran on bench with CC for couple of minutes (code increase expected but no dropping of stack which is good).
This gives task creation at the time wherethe all heap is available.
- create linker section for those <module>Initialize()
- later this list will incorporate parameters as well. (this probably will be more a OP feature to swap/remove/delete module on the fly.
- this is not done at compile time anymore by Makefile.
- this will allow us to have control on the module start at run-time (not implemented but build the ground for it).
- this simplify the startup (Part of code re-org).
- this change does not affect sim_posix and win32 (since they don't need that)
- ensure it's compiling for PiOS.posix
- port to PiOS.win32 but not tested (not compiled)
- tested on CC
- compile on OP.
- this free ~200 bytes.
- current avalable bytes (is we keep the same remaining bytes on the stack than before) is easily passed the 1.2Ko mark on CC with new gcc (4.5.2)
- this does not include init-reorg for each module (I still think more can be freed)
- use IRQStack for ISRs (at begening of SRAM) (let's call it the irq stack)
- use end of heap for stack needed during initialization (let's call it the init stack).
- the systemStats in GCS indicate the remaining bytes in the IRQ stack (this is realy usefull to monitor our (nested) IRQs.
This is the base ground to provide as much memory as possible available at task creation time.
Next step is to re-organize the initialization in order to move all the init out of the thread's stacks onto the init stack.
This will provide as much memory as possible available at task creation time.
Basically the stack during initialization will be destroyed once the scheduler starts and dynamic alloc are made (since the init stack is at the end of the heap). We will need to make sure we don't clobber the heap during initialization otherwise this will lead to stack corruption.
PIOS_USD_SDCARD. However, this needs to be cleaned up and abstracted out of
the UAVObjectManager who shouldn't care about the storage layer.
