d3d2b51fa2 galileo: Initial stdio support
This patch introduces the initial support for stdio library in Galileo
platform. For now, only standard output and error are supported. Both
streams use the UART1 device.

Newlib doesn't call open() for stdin, stdout, and stderr which means
that the _write_r call is the first activity the stub will see on
those streams. For that reason, we initialize the UART1 device in
Galileo's platform main() function instead of in open() system call.

ee82304211 galileo: Implement _sbrk_r syscall
This patch implements the _sbrk_r() system call for Galileo platform. This
system call is required by newlib's malloc() implementation. Next patch
will introduce the initial support for stdio library which requires a
working malloc() function for proper operation.

We are not sure about the heap size we should use. Preliminary tests
have shown that stdio library requests 1032 bytes heap. So, as an initial
guess, a 2Kb heap size should be enough for now.

9b6b5ce5b0 galileo: Instruct developer to build C library prior to building Contiki
This patch enhances build_newlib.sh to create Makefile.libc so that
the main Galileo makefile can attempt to include Makefile.libc and
instruct the developer to run build_newlib.sh first if the definition
within Makefile.libc is not detected.

96e50ec2c4 galileo: Fix Makefile.galileo
This patch moves the compiler and linking options related to QuarkX1000
SoC to Makefile.x86_quarkX1000 since it is more suitable. For instance,
'-m32' should be used in any platform based on QuarkX1000, not only
Galileo. The same rationale applies for the others options (e.g. -march,
mtune).

2b5efdfbe7 galileo: Revise C compiler flags for consistency.
The CFLAGS setting used for the newlib build process includes
"-mtune=i586" as does the ASFLAGS setting used for the Contiki build
process.  However, the CFLAGS setting used for the Contiki build
process did not include that flag.  This patch adds it for
consistency.

b79fcaa7d8 galileo: Override Ubuntu's default GCC flags to avoid link errors
Ubuntu enables GCC's stack protector by default (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features).  This causes link errors
like the following:

 ...undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail'

To avoid these errors, this patch adds the "-fno-stack-protector" flag
to both the CFLAGS used by the Contiki build process and the CFLAGS
used by the newlib build process.

a8849b2909 x86: Move bootstrap code and linker script to cpu/x86
This is a refactoring patch, no functionality is changed. It moves
loader.S and galileo.ld from platform/galileo/ to cpu/x86/ directory
since they seem to be more SoC-specific than platform-specific.

It also renames galileo.ld to quarkX1000.ld since it can be used by
any platform based on Quark X1000 SoC, not only Galileo.

Furthermore, this patch also renames loader.S to bootstrap_quarkX1000.S
since it is pretty much a bootstrap code to any platform based on Quark
X1000 SoC.

b2fa72bb98 x86: Break Makefile.x86 into common and pc specific ones
Now the cpu/x86/ provides a Makefile.x86_common and a
Makefile.x86_pc. The former includes the common Makefile
and adds legacy pc specific implementations (currently,
drivers only) into the building context, while the latter
has everything that defines the bootstrap of a x86 CPU.

This commit also fixes platform/galileo/ so it includes the
correct makefile - Makefile.x86_quarkX1000. Galileo uses
a Quark X1000 SoC which is not an IBM Generic PC-like CPU,
but it does provide most of a PCs peripherals through
its "Legacy Bridge". Thus, it makes sense that QuarkX1000's
Makefile includes code from the legacy_pc x86 cpu.

23e8090257 x86: Move available drivers into drivers/legacy_pc/
All drivers implemented so far are for chips which are only available
on legacy x86 PCs. This commit moves them into a more appropriate folder,
also making the cpu/x86/drivers/ folder ready for other x86 based SoCs.

9d3b9cadc4 galileo: Concentrate core implementations in platform/galileo/core/
Currently, it is common to see Contiki's core/ interfaces implementations
spread in both cpu/ and platform/. We here take one step further starting
an effort to centralize all of these in platform's code instead.

This commit starts this by adding platform/galileo/core/ and its sys/
subfolder, adding a stubbed mtarch.h and moving clock and rtimer
implementations to this new folder. From now on we should concentrate
implementation from Contiki's core/ interfaces into the appropriate
subfolder in platform/galileo/core/.

Note that this is not the current fashion followed on other platforms
and cpus folders, as most of them add the core interface implementation
into its subfolder directly. For instance, on CC2538DK,
core/dev/button-sensor.h is implemented in platform/cc2538dk/dev/
directly, while on Galileo it would sit at platform/galileo/core/dev/.
We believe ours is a better approach to organize and escalate a
platform's code base.

We also remove previous x86 mtarch.h and mtarch.c since they weren't used
at all - both native and cooja platforms have their own mtarch
implementations.

e4ff61ff6c galileo: Support for rtimer library
This patch adds support for rtimer library on Galileo's platform.

We use the PIT to implement the rtimer platform dependent
functionalities. We chose the PIT for mainly two reason: I) its
configuration is very simple II) it has a high frequency which
provides us a good clock resolution (requirement from rtimer
library).

Since we keep track of the number of ticks in software, we define
rtimer_clock_t type as uint64_t. This gives us a good amount of time
til the variable overflows. For instance, a 32-bit type would overflow
in about one hour for high clock resolution (~ 1us).

The rtimer clock frequency (RTIMER_ARCH_SECOND) is setup to 1 kHz.
There is no technical matter regarding this value. It is just an
initial guess.

Just for the record, we might want to use HPET in future to
implement the rtimer library since it seems to be more appropriate.
The reason why we don't use it at this moment is that, in order to
configure it, we need support for ACPI 2.0 which we don't. Once we
have use-cases for the rtimer library we'll probably replace PIT
by HPET or any other timer more suitable for the job.

7c871871de galileo: Add support for Etimer and Ctimer libraries
This patch adds support for the Etimer and Ctimer libraries. To support
the Etimer library, we should poll the etimer process every time the
system clock is updated. To do this more efficiently, by taking advantage
of etimer_next_expiration_time() API, we poll the etimer process only
when an 'Event Timer' has expired.

We don't need any platform specific support in order to enable the Ctimer
library since it relies completely on Etimer.

The others timer libraries (Timer and Stime) don't required any specific
platform support as well since they rely on the system Clock module only.

eafcba5e7a galileo: Add support for Clock module
This patch adds support for Contiki's clock module. All functions from
core/sys/clock.h are implemented, except clock_set_seconds() and clock_
delay_usec(). The CLOCK_CONF_SECOND macro is set to 128. This value
seems to be good enough since several platforms used it. Finally, we
use the RTC driver to track the number of ticks from the system clock.

11098501d8 x86: Initialize the 8259 PIC
The Programmable Interrupt Controller is a chip responsible for
translating hardware interrupts to system interrupts. When it
receives an Interrupt Request (IRQ), it triggers the appropriate
interrupt line reaching the appropriate IDT gate, following a
previously setup offset.

There are 2 daisy-chained PICs. PIC1 handles IRQs 0-7 and PIC2
handles IRQs 8-15. If no vector offset is set, an IRQ0, for instance,
would trigger the interrupt 0, clashing with the "Division by zero exception"
handler. Thus the IRQs must be remapped.

This patch implements the PICs initialization through their 4
Initialization Command Words (ICWs) in a very "canonical" way:
- ICW1: the initializing command;
- ICW2: the vector offset for the PIC1 and PIC2 (we add an offset of 32 positions);
- ICW3: the inter-PICs wiring setup (we connect PIC2 to PIC1's IRQ2);
- ICW4: extra systems information (we set PIC1 as Master and PIC2 as slave).

It then masks the Interrupt Mask Register, blocking all IRQs but #2 initially.
These must be unmasked on demand. The IMR is 8-bits long, so setting the n^th bit to 1
would DISABLE the IRQ n while setting it to 0 would ENABLE IRQ n.

As stated, this is an implementation of the legacy 8259 PIC. More
investigation is needed so we decide if it is enough or if we need
the (newer) APIC implementation instead.

This patch also adds the outb() helper function to helpers.h. The helpers
is a wrapper for assembly 'out' instruction.

Finally, since we now properly support hardware interrupts, this patch
also enables IRQs in platform main().

b8feaea30d x86: Add helpers.h

Additionally, this patch also changes loader.S to call the halt().

6ecc4a7371 galileo: Implement main() function
This patch implements the main() function for Galileo platform. At this
moment, only Processes subsystem is enabled. After this patch we are
able to some rudimentary debugging to ensure that process thread from
applications are being indeed executed.

Once we properly support more Contiki subsystems, such as clock, ctimer,
etimer, and rtimer, we will add them to Galileo platform's main() as well.

595088be09 galileo: Add a bootstrap stack for C runtime
All we need to provide to C at this point is a region in memory dedicated to
its stack. This is done by allocating a region in .bss and pushing its start
address to esp. Since the multiboot spec says it is not safe to rely on the
initial stack provided by the bootloader, this patch provides our own stack.

Galileo boards have 512Kb of SRAM and 256Mb of DDR3 RAM, so providing 8kb as
a start seems safe. Moreover, stack sizes are very application-oriented
so it may be too early to provide a bigger (or smaller) stack.

7e13081776 galileo: Print elf sections sizes after build
This patch changes Galileo's buildsystem to print the elf sections
sizes after a new image is built. This way we can easily track how
these sections increase or decrease after any change.

To achieve that, we define a custom linking rule which is pretty much
the same as the default linking rule define in Makefile.include, but
we run 'size' command after the image is built.

1fb7800110 galileo: Add 'debug' rule
This patch the 'debug' rule to simplify the debugging process. This new
rule runs OpenOCD and gdb with the right parameters. OpenOCD runs in
background and its output will be redirected to a log file in the
application's path called LOG_OPENOCD. Once gdb client is detached,
OpenOCD is terminated.

The 'debug' rule is defined in Makefile.customrules-galileo file (create
by this patch) which is included by the Contiki's buildsystem. So to
debug a Contiki application for Galileo board, run the following command:
$ make TARGET=galileo debug

If you use a gdb front-end, you can define the "GDB" environment variable
and your gdb front-end will be used instead of default gdb. For instance,
if you want to use cgdb front-end, just run the command:
$ make BOARD=galileo debug GDB=cgdb

f14f9aba41 galileo: Initial support for Intel Galileo Platform
This patch adds the initial support for Intel Galileo Platform. It
contains the minimum set of code required to boot a dummy Contiki
image.

For Galileo initial support, we implemented a linker script, a minimal
bootstrap code, a set of stubbed functions required by newlib, and a
very simple main() function. Moreover, we also define some header files
and macros required by Contiki.

To build applications for this platform you should first build newlib
(in case it wasn't already built). To build newlib you can run the
following command:
$ platform/galileo/bsp/libc/build_newlib.sh

Once newlib is built, you can build applications. To build applications
for Galileo platform you should set TARGET variable to 'galileo'. For
instance, building the hello-world application should look like this:
$ cd examples/hello-world/ && make TARGET=galileo

This will generate the 'hello-world.galileo' file which is a multiboot-
compliant [1] ELF image. This image can be booted by any multiboot-
complaint bootloader such as Grub.

Finally, this patch should be used as a guideline to add the initial
support for others platforms based on x86 SoCs.

c9897fe9b0 galileo: Add BSP files
This patch creates the platform/galileo/bsp directory. This directory
contain all files related to Galileo's Board Support Package (BSP). For
now, the BSP consists of libc and bootloader.

Within the BSP directory, we have the scripts build_newlib.sh and build_
grub.sh. These scripts provide an easy and quick way to build the newlib
and the grub for the Galileo platform.
