* @defgroup IAR_ARMCMx ARM Cortex-Mx
* @details ARM Cortex-Mx port for the IAR compiler.
* @section IAR_ARMCMx_INTRO Introduction
* This port supports all the cores implementing the ARMv6-M and ARMv7-M
* architectures.
*
* @section IAR_ARMCMx_STATES_A System logical states in ARMv6-M mode
* The ChibiOS/RT logical @ref system_states are mapped as follow in the ARM
* Cortex-M0 port:
* - <b>Init</b>. This state is represented by the startup code and the
* initialization code before @p chSysInit() is executed. It has not a
* special hardware state associated.
* - <b>Normal</b>. This is the state the system has after executing
* @p chSysInit(). In this state interrupts are enabled. The processor
* is running in thread-privileged mode.
* - <b>Suspended</b>. In this state the interrupt sources are globally
* disabled. The processor is running in thread-privileged mode. In this
* mode this state is not different from the <b>Disabled</b> state.
* - <b>Disabled</b>. In this state the interrupt sources are globally
* disabled. The processor is running in thread-privileged mode. In this
* mode this state is not different from the <b>Suspended</b> state.
* - <b>Sleep</b>. This state is entered with the execution of the specific
* instruction @p <b>wfi</b>.
* - <b>S-Locked</b>. In this state the interrupt sources are globally
* disabled. The processor is running in thread-privileged mode.
* - <b>I-Locked</b>. In this state the interrupt sources are globally
* disabled. The processor is running in exception-privileged mode.
* - <b>Serving Regular Interrupt</b>. In this state the interrupt sources are
* not globally masked but only interrupts with higher priority can preempt
* the current handler. The processor is running in exception-privileged
* mode.
* - <b>Serving Fast Interrupt</b>. This state is not implemented in the
* ARMv6-M implementation.
* - <b>Serving Non-Maskable Interrupt</b>. The Cortex-M3 has a specific
* asynchronous NMI vector and several synchronous fault vectors that can
* be considered belonging to this category.
* - <b>Halted</b>. Implemented as an infinite loop after globally masking all
* the maskable interrupt sources. The ARM state is whatever the processor
* was running when @p chSysHalt() was invoked.
*
* @section IAR_ARMCMx_STATES_B System logical states in ARMv7-M mode
* The ChibiOS/RT logical @ref system_states are mapped as follow in the ARM
* Cortex-M3 port:
* - <b>Init</b>. This state is represented by the startup code and the
* initialization code before @p chSysInit() is executed. It has not a
* special hardware state associated.
* - <b>Normal</b>. This is the state the system has after executing
* @p chSysInit(). In this state the ARM Cortex-M3 has the BASEPRI register
* set at @p CORTEX_BASEPRI_USER level, interrupts are not masked. The
* processor is running in thread-privileged mode.
* - <b>Suspended</b>. In this state the interrupt sources are not globally
* masked but the BASEPRI register is set to @p CORTEX_BASEPRI_KERNEL thus
* masking any interrupt source with lower or equal priority. The processor
* is running in thread-privileged mode.
* - <b>Disabled</b>. Interrupt sources are globally masked. The processor
* is running in thread-privileged mode.
* - <b>Sleep</b>. This state is entered with the execution of the specific
* instruction @p <b>wfi</b>.
* - <b>S-Locked</b>. In this state the interrupt sources are not globally
* masked but the BASEPRI register is set to @p CORTEX_BASEPRI_KERNEL thus
* masking any interrupt source with lower or equal priority. The processor
* is running in thread-privileged mode.
* - <b>I-Locked</b>. In this state the interrupt sources are not globally
* masked but the BASEPRI register is set to @p CORTEX_BASEPRI_KERNEL thus
* masking any interrupt source with lower or equal priority. The processor
* is running in exception-privileged mode.
* - <b>Serving Regular Interrupt</b>. In this state the interrupt sources are
* not globally masked but only interrupts with higher priority can preempt
* the current handler. The processor is running in exception-privileged
* mode.
* - <b>Serving Fast Interrupt</b>. It is basically the same of the SRI state
* but it is not possible to switch to the I-Locked state because fast
* interrupts can preempt the kernel critical zone.
* - <b>Serving Non-Maskable Interrupt</b>. The Cortex-M3 has a specific
* asynchronous NMI vector and several synchronous fault vectors that can
* be considered belonging to this category.
* - <b>Halted</b>. Implemented as an infinite loop after globally masking all
* the maskable interrupt sources. The ARM state is whatever the processor
* was running when @p chSysHalt() was invoked.
* .
* @section IAR_ARMCMx_NOTES ARM Cortex-Mx/IAR port notes
* The ARM Cortex-Mx port is organized as follow:
* - The @p main() function is invoked in thread-privileged mode.
* - Each thread has a private process stack, the system has a single main
* stack where all the interrupts and exceptions are processed.
* - The threads are started in thread-privileged mode.
* - Interrupt nesting and the other advanced core/NVIC features are supported.
* - When using an STM32 one of the following macros must be defined on the
* compiler command line or in a file named <tt>board.h</tt>:
* - @p STM32F10X_LD
* - @p STM32F10X_LD_VL
* - @p STM32F10X_MD
* - @p STM32F10X_MD_VL
* - @p STM32F10X_HD
* - @p STM32F10X_XL
* - @p STM32F10X_CL
* .
* This is required in order to include a vectors table with the correct
* length for the STM32 model, see the file
* <tt>./os/ports/IAR/ARMCMx/STM32/vectors.s</tt>.
* - The Cortex-Mx port is perfectly generic, support for more devices can be
* easily added by adding a subdirectory under <tt>./os/ports/IAR/ARMCMx</tt>
* and giving it the name of the new device, then copy the files from another
* device into the new directory and customize them for the new device.

/**
* @defgroup IAR_ARMCMx_CONF Configuration Options
* @details ARM Cortex-Mx Configuration Options. The ARMCMx port allows some
* architecture-specific configurations settings that can be overridden
* by redefining them in @p chconf.h. Usually there is no need to change
* the default values.
* - @p INT_REQUIRED_STACK, this value represent the amount of stack space used
* by an interrupt handler between the @p extctx and @p intctx
* structures.
* - @p IDLE_THREAD_STACK_SIZE, stack area size to be assigned to the IDLE
* thread. Usually there is no need to change this value unless inserting
* code in the IDLE thread using the @p IDLE_LOOP_HOOK hook macro.
* - @p CORTEX_BASEPRI_KERNEL, this is the @p BASEPRI value for the kernel lock
* code. Code running at higher priority levels must not invoke any OS API.
* This setting is specific to the ARMv7-M architecture.
* - @p CORTEX_PRIORITY_SYSTICK, priority of the SYSTICK handler.
* - @p CORTEX_PRIORITY_SVCALL, priority of the SVCALL handler.
* - @p CORTEX_PRIORITY_PENDSV, priority of the PENDSV handler.
* - @p CORTEX_ENABLE_WFI_IDLE, if set to @p TRUE enables the use of the
* @p <b>wfi</b> instruction from within the idle loop. This option is
* defaulted to FALSE because it can create problems with some debuggers.
* Setting this option to TRUE reduces the system power requirements.

* @details ChibiOS/RT provides its own generic startup file for the ARM

* Of course it is not mandatory to use it but care should be taken about the
* startup phase details.
*
* @section IAR_ARMCMx_STARTUP_1 Startup Process
* The startup process, as implemented, is the following:
* -# Interrupts are masked globally.
* -# The two stacks are initialized by assigning them the sizes defined in the
* linker script (usually named @p ch.icf).
* -# The CPU state is switched to Privileged and the PSP stack is used.
* -# An early initialization routine @p __early_init() is invoked, if the
* symbol is not defined then an empty default routine is executed
* (weak symbol).
* -# Control is passed to the C runtime entry point @p __cmain that performs
* the required initializations before invoking the @p main() function.
