//! pardes, as ESP32-P4 firmware. //! //! There is no operating system under this. `_start` is the reset entry the second-stage bootloader //! jumps to, and this file is the entire platform: a heap, a millisecond clock, and UART0. //! //! ## Where the editor is //! //! Not in this package. `../02-pardes-code` compiles its core for riscv32-freestanding and emits //! ONE object exporting the six C functions declared below; `-Dpardes` links it. The seam is a file //! rather than a package dependency for a reason recorded at length in `build.zig`: declaring the //! editor as a `build.zig.zon` path dependency nested its ~30-package graph under this one and //! broke every build in this repo, including the ones that have nothing to do with it. //! //! The seam is deliberately **bytes in, bytes out**. Everything that needs to know what a cell is - //! vaxis, the ANSI encoder, the input parser, the capability handshake - lives on the far side, //! next to the vaxis it is built against. What crosses is a byte stream in each direction, which is //! exactly what a serial line is, so this file has no opinion about terminals at all. //! //! ## Where the memory is //! //! Measured on this die by `examples/memprobe.zig`, not read off a datasheet: //! //! 0x4FF02000..0x4FF3F000 244 KiB .data/.bss/.stack live at the bottom of this //! 0x4FF3F000..0x4FF40000 4 KiB mask ROM .data/.bss - untouchable, ets_printf needs it //! 0x4FF40000..0x4FFC0000 512 KiB handed to the editor as its entire heap //! //! The 512 KiB arrives as `__heap_start`/`__heap_end` from the generated linker script, so those //! addresses are written down in exactly one place. The editor owns that span outright: it is //! passed in at init and this file never allocates from it. //! //! PSRAM is not used. The board has 32 MB fitted and it would make all of this comfortable, but //! ESP-IDF's own ESP32-P4 implementation runs past a thousand lines - MPLL, MSPI clocking, pin //! drive and DQS, CS timing, mode registers, a connectivity check, and an entire timing-calibration //! subsystem - and the mask ROM offers only MMU mapping, no device init. Touching it untrained //! faults and hangs the core, which `examples/memprobe.zig` demonstrates on purpose. const std = @import("std"); const soc = @import("soc"); const config = @import("config"); /// `-Dprof`: time the two phases of a keystroke on the board and print the cycle counts.
