PowerPC ABI & EABI

ABI = Application Binary Interface. The set of rules to be followed in machine code, e.g., how to pass function arguments, alignment requirements, how registers are to be used, etc.

EABI = Embedded ABI. Amended rules for embedded processors. The code generated by GCC for the PPC405 and PPC440 conforms to the EABI.

• UNIX SYSTEM V ABI, PowerPC Supplement
• PowerPC EABI
• PPC EABI notes
• Itanium C++ ABI. The ABIs above were written with C in mind. This ABI, though intended for a different processor, is a widely used model for C++ implementations including that of GCC on PowerPC.

Xilinx tool suite:

• In Windows:
  • Fire up a Xilinx bash shell
    • Can find it in the Start menu -> Xilinx
    • C:\Xilinx\12.4\ISE_DS\EDK\bin\nt64\xbash.exe
• xmd to connect to JTAG and load code
• There is a gcc, etc.

Debugging with XMD commands:

• xapp1117
