1 Readme for the Octeon Executive Library
4 The Octeon Executive Library provides runtime support and hardware
5 abstraction for the Octeon processor. The executive is composed of the
6 libcvmx.a library as well as header files that provide
7 functionality with inline functions.
12 The libcvmx.a library is built for every application as part of the
13 application build. (Please refer to the 'related pages' section of the
14 HTML documentation for more information on the build system.)
15 Applications using the executive should include the header files from
16 $OCTEON_ROOT/target/include and link against the library that is built in
17 the local obj directory. Each file using the executive
18 should include the following two header files in order:
20 #include "cvmx-config.h"
23 The cvmx-config.h file contains configuration information for the
24 executive and is generated by the cvmx-config script from an
25 'executive-config.h' file. A sample version of this file is provided
26 in the executive directory as 'executive-config.h.template'.
28 Copy this file to 'executive-config.h' into the 'config' subdirectory
29 of the application directory and customize as required by the application.
30 Applications that don't use any simple executive functionality can omit
31 the cvmx-config.h header file. Please refer to the examples for a
32 demonstration of where to put the executive-config.h file and for an
33 example of generated cvmx-config.h.
