Configuration Data

Objective

This page was created to capture tribal knowledge about getting data from the registry or other non-compiled files into embedded software to use for configuration "magic numbers".

General

Move magic numbers out of the hard-coded compile where possible for numbers that are expected to (or may) be different on different targets/platforms and put them in modifiable configuration files.

PAL

• Passing in a base address (such as CCSRBAR)
  • Use getPlatformResourceAttributesPPI kernel function to get the address to use from a PIA file via the kernel.

Drivers

• Passing in a base address + offset value
  • Set the base + offset addresses in a platform-specific driver PIA file.
