+ at chapter Epiphany Specific Information
+
+This chapter discusses the
+ at uref{http://adapteva.com/docs/epiphany_sdk_ref.pdf, Epiphany Architecture}
+dependencies in this port of RTEMS. Epiphany is a chip that can come with 16 and
+64 cores, each of which can run RTEMS separately or they can work together to 
+run a SMP RTEMS application.
+
+ at subheading Architecture Documents
+
+For information on the Epiphany architecture refer to the
+ at uref{http://adapteva.com/docs/epiphany_arch_ref.pdf,Epiphany Architecture Reference}.
+
+ at section Calling Conventions
+
+Please refer to the
+ at uref{http://adapteva.com/docs/epiphany_sdk_ref.pdf, Epiphany SDK}
+Appendix A: Application Binary Interface
+
+ at subsection Floating Point Unit
+
+A floating point unit is currently not supported.
+
+ at section Memory Model
+
+A flat 32-bit memory model is supported, no caches. Each core has its own 32 KiB
+strictly ordered local memory along with an access to a shared 32 MiB external
+DRAM.
+
+ at section Interrupt Processing
+
+Every Epiphany core has 10 exception types:
+
+ at itemize @bullet
+
+ at item Reset
+ at item Software Exception
+ at item Data Page Fault
+ at item Timer 0
+ at item Timer 1
+ at item Message Interrupt
+ at item DMA0 Interrupt
+ at item DMA1 Interrupt
+ at item WANT Interrupt
+ at item User Interrupt
+
+ at end itemize
+
+ at subsection Interrupt Levels
+
+There are only two levels: interrupts enabled and interrupts disabled.
+
+ at subsection Interrupt Stack
+
+The Epiphany RTEMS port uses a dedicated software interrupt stack.
+The stack for interrupts is allocated during interrupt driver initialization.
+When an  interrupt is entered, the _ISR_Handler routine is responsible for
+switching from the interrupted task stack to RTEMS software interrupt stack.
+
+ at section Default Fatal Error Processing
+
+The default fatal error handler for this architecture performs the
+following actions:
+
+ at itemize @bullet
+ at item disables operating system supported interrupts (IRQ),
+ at item places the error code in @code{r0}, and
+ at item executes an infinite loop to simulate a halt processor instruction.
+ at end itemize
