OSAL Layer for RTEMS

[Aitor.Viana.Sanchez at esa.int]

Hi Amalaye,

I can try to do that but most probably I miss some.

- I've removed the "name" parameter in the OSAL resource creation 
functions. This implies I removed the GetByName() functions.

- I changed all the RTEMS OSAL API to use the RTEMS native API. I did this 
because other sections in ESA are trying to validate RTEMS (subset of) and 
left behind the POSIX interface.

- I did some changes in the source code, but do not affect functionality

- I added time functions to set/get the processor time
OS_SetLocalTime
OS_GetLocalTime
OS_Milli2Ticks
OS_Tick2Micros

- I added Timer functions which in RTEMS are mapped to the "rtems_timer_" 
functions.

OS_TimerCreate
OS_TimerDelete
OS_TimerCancel
OS_TimerFireAfter
OS_TimerFireWhen (not yet implemented, thinking about the usefulness for 
our purposes)
OS_TimerReset

- In the RTEMS flavour I included a fatal error handler extension for 
debugging purposes.

- I did not include yet in our version (or I removed from yours) the 
Memory access API, the EEPROM Control API, port API,  and PCI bus API. 
Still thinking about it.

- now I don't remember the status of the GSFC file system OSAL API for 
RTEMS. But I do remember dealing with it in my version and is working but 
with still some TODOs.

Minor stuff, like changing the configuration/compilation method

- Apart from OSAL I developed a unitary test battery to test all the API 
interfaces.


Am sure I've left some but, more or less

Best regards,

Aitor
