etc.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> The <I
CLASS="FIRSTTERM"
>variant HAL</I
>
encapsulates features of the CPU variant such as caches, MMU and
FPU features. It also deals with any on-chip peripherals such as
memory and interrupt controllers. For architectural variations,
the actual implementation of the variation is often in the
architectural HAL, and the variant HAL simply provides the correct
configuration definitions.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> The <I
CLASS="FIRSTTERM"
>platform HAL</I
>
abstracts the properties of the current platform and includes
things like platform startup, timer devices, I/O register access
and interrupt controllers.
</P
></LI
></UL
><P
>The boundaries between these three HAL levels are necessarily blurred
since functionality shifts between levels on a target-by-target basis.
For example caches and MMU may be either an architecture feature or a
variant feature. Similarly, memory and interrupt controllers may be
on-chip and in the variant HAL, or off-chip and in the platform HAL.</P
><P
>Generally there is a separate package for each of the architecture,
variant and package HALs for a target. For some of the older targets,
or where it would be essentially empty, the variant HAL is omitted.</P
