These are miscellaneous useful notes about how ChibiOS functions.
### Stacks Configuration
From ChibiOS crt0.c:
Two stacks available for Cortex-M, main stack or process stack.
* **Thread mode**: Used to execute application software. The processor enters Thread mode when it comes out of reset.
* **Handler mode**: Used to handle exceptions. The processor returns to Thread mode when it has finished all exception processing.
ChibiOS configures the Cortex-M in dual-stack mode. (CONTROL[1]=1)
When CONTROL[1]=1, PSP is used when the processor is in Thread mode.
MSP is always used when the processor is in Handler mode.
* **__main_stack_size__**: Used for exception handlers. Yes, really.
* **__process_stack_size__**: Used by main().
After chSysInit(), the current instructions stream (usually main())
becomes the main thread.
