5 Now to write the ROM file out so I can work with RatufaCoat.
9 Oh wow `Text._dirty()` uses a massive number of registers, I need to actually
10 see if I can reduce that down!
14 Actually the temporary register is seen as 253 and that comes from a volatile
15 so maybe volatiles are not being cleared but just stacked up?
19 Okay so it seems that transitions can make it so that stack entries get
20 trashed into nothing, so is a bit weird.
24 I also have another issue where it seems the code jumps off the end of the
25 method so it may be a method where there is a cached value and nothing happens
26 or similar. So I might need a nop.
30 Going to make it so the BootRAM can be endian independent. Of course I will
31 still have the giant memory chunk since this will act as the seed but the
32 operations will include the value to be written as well. This simplifies
33 things and will allow me to handle both little and big endian data.
37 So actually before I go into reworking the bootstrap to be a bit more any
38 endian friendly I am going to make it so SummerCoat can actually use the ROM
39 file. That will help for RatufaCoat and then additionally I can add tests as
40 well. But actually since I need tests, I need to actually build a ROM using
41 the test namespace to get access to all of them. So I need to fork the
48 * Decide about booting the initial program:
49 * Store the classpath needed to initialize it and start it.
50 * Perform some very basic dependency resolution in the supervisor so it
52 * Add short/integer/long/float/double values to the BootRAM initializer
53 instructions so that it can work regardless of endianess. (RatufaCoat
54 will have to be able to run any endianess).
55 * Write RatufaCoat and bring it up to speed to SummerCoat's level.
