[PATCH] (2 commits squashed into one) Beagle BSP for review

Hi Ben,

Great work I must admit.

I just have few question/suggestion. I am new to the community so high
chances that I might be wrong here, but I noticed something so I thought I
should tell/ask.


diff --git a/c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/beagle/include/bsp.h
b/c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/beagle/include/bsp.h
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..fc001dd1

+++ b/c/src/lib/libbsp/arm/beagle/include/bsp.h

...
+/* Data synchronization barrier */
+static inline void dsb(void)
+{
+        asm volatile("dsb" : : : "memory");
+}
+
+/* Instruction synchronization barrier */
+static inline void isb(void)
+{
+        asm volatile("isb" : : : "memory");
+}
...
...
I guess these similar barrier functions are already present
in cpukit/score/cpu/arm/rtems/score/cpu.h.
So, do we need to add this again ?


+/* flush data cache */
+static inline void flush_data_cache(void)
+{
+        asm volatile("mov r0, #0; mcr p15, #0, r0, c7, c10, #4" : : :
"memory");
+}

the name of this function is confusing to me. This is not a flush operation
right ? Following link says it is a data synchronization operation.

Please correct me if I am wrong at any place.

Thanks
Ritesh
