HW03

This is the hw03 sample. Please follow the steps below.

Build the Sample Program

1. Fork this repo to your own github account.

2. Clone the repo that you just forked.

3. Under the hw03 dir, use:

   • make to build.

   • make clean to clean the ouput files.

4. Extract gnu-mcu-eclipse-qemu.zip into hw03 dir. Under the path of hw03, start emulation with make qemu.

   See Lecture 02 ─ Emulation with QEMU for more details.

5. The sample is a minimal program for ARM Cortex-M4 devices, which enters while(1); after reset. Use gdb to get more details.

   See ESEmbedded_HW02_Example for knowing how to do the observation and how to use markdown for taking notes.

Build Your Own Program

1. Edit main.c.

2. Make and run like the steps above.

3. Please avoid using hardware dependent C Standard library functions like printf, malloc, etc.

HW03 Requirements

1. How do C functions pass and return parameters? Please describe the related standard used by the Application Binary Interface (ABI) for the ARM architecture.

2. Modify main.c to observe what you found.

3. You have to state how you designed the observation (code), and how you performed it.

   Just like how you did in HW02.

4. If there are any official data that define the rules, you can also use them as references.

5. Push your repo to your github. (Use .gitignore to exclude the output files like object files or executable files and the qemu bin folder)
