2.1: CPU Dependent

This class of code includes the foundation routines for the executive proper such as the context switch and the interrupt subroutine implementations. Sources for the supported processor families can be found in cpukit/score/cpu. A good starting point for a new family of processors is the no_cpu directory, which holds both prototypes and descriptions of each needed CPU dependent function.

CPU dependent code is further subcategorized if the implementation is dependent on a particular CPU model. For example, the MC68000 and MC68020 processors are both members of the m68k CPU family but there are significant differences between these CPU models which RTEMS must take into account.
