It also deals with any on-chip peripherals such as memory and interrupt controllers. For architectural variations, the actual implementation of the variation is often in the architectural HAL, and the variant HAL simply provides the correct configuration definitions. </P></LI><LI><P> The <ICLASS="FIRSTTERM">platform HAL</I> abstracts the properties of the current platform and includes things like platform startup, timer devices, I/O register access and interrupt controllers. </P></LI></UL><P>The boundaries between these three HAL levels are necessarily blurredsince functionality shifts between levels on a target-by-target basis.For example caches and MMU may be either an architecture feature or avariant feature. Similarly, memory and interrupt controllers may beon-chip and in the variant HAL, or off-chip and in the platform HAL.</P><P>Generally there is a separate package for each of the architecture,variant and package HALs for a target. For some of the older targets,or where it would be essentially empty, the variant HAL is omitted.</P></DIV><DIVCLASS="NAVFOOTER"><HRALIGN="LEFT"WIDTH="100%"><TABLESUMMARY="Footer navigation table"WIDTH="100%"BORDER="0"CELLPADDING="0"CELLSPACING="0"><TR><TDWIDTH="33%"ALIGN="left"VALIGN="top"><AHREF="hal-introduction.html"ACCESSKEY="P">Prev</A></TD><TDWIDTH="34%"ALIGN="center"VALIGN="top"><AHREF="ecos-ref.html"ACCESSKEY="H">Home</A></TD><TDWIDTH="33%"ALIGN="right"VALIGN="top"><AHREF="hal-general-principles.html"ACCESSKEY="N">Next</A></TD></TR><TR><TDWIDTH="33%"ALIGN="left"VALIGN="top">Introduction</TD><TDWIDTH="34%"ALIGN="center"VALIGN="top"><AHREF="the-ecos-hardware-abstraction-layer.html"ACCESSKEY="U">Up</A></TD><TDWIDTH="33%"ALIGN="right"VALIGN="top">General principles</TD></TR></TABLE></DIV></BODY></HTML>⌨️ 快捷键说明
