uCOS-II Ports
=============
The folder "Ports" contains the generic uCOS-II Ports to ARM-Cortex-M3
and ARM-Cortex-M4.
 
***
NOTE: The ports have been modified by Quantum Leaps to remove the
dependencies on the Micrium's uC-CPU and uC-LIB components, and instead
to inter-operate with the Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface
Standard (CMSIS).
***

Modifications for CMSIS
-----------------------
Specifically, the names of the standard exception handlers PendSV and SysTick
used by the uC/OS-II ports have been renamed to be compliant with the CMSIS
naming convention.

Additionally, the Cortex-M4F ports have been modified to include the FPU
configuration that is expected by the uC/OS-II port to Cortex-M4F, which
was different from the FPU configuration performed by the CMSIS-compliant
startup code. Specifically, the explicit FPU configuration has been
OSInitHookEnd() function in the file os_cpu_c.c.
