| Title: Boot Time Measurement |
| |
| Description: |
| |
| BootTime measures the time: |
| a) from system reset to kernel start (crt0.s's __start) |
| b) from kernel start to begin of main() |
| c) from kernel start to begin of first task |
| d) from kernel start to when microkernel's main task goes immediately idle |
| |
| The project can be built using one of the following three configurations: |
| |
| best |
| ------- |
| - Disables most features |
| - Provides best case boot measurement |
| |
| default |
| ------- |
| - Default configuration options |
| - Provides typical boot measurement |
| |
| worst |
| ------- |
| - Enables most features. |
| - Provides worst case boot measurement |

| Building and Running Project: |
| |
| This benchmark outputs to the console. It can be built and executed |
| on QEMU as follows: |
| |
| make qemu |
| |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Troubleshooting: |
| |
| Problems caused by out-dated project information can be addressed by |
| issuing one of the following commands then rebuilding the project: |
| |
| make clean # discard results of previous builds |
| # but keep existing configuration info |
| or |
| make pristine # discard results of previous builds |
| # and restore pre-defined configuration info |
| |

| tc_start() - Boot Time Measurement |
| MicroKernel Boot Result: Clock Frequency: 20 MHz |
| __start : 377787 cycles, 18889 us |
| _start->main(): 3915 cycles, 195 us |
| _start->task : 5898 cycles, 294 us |
| _start->idle : 6399 cycles, 319 us |
