**axklib** — Small kernel-helper abstractions used across the ArceOS microkernel.
## Overview
This crate exposes a tiny, `no_std`-compatible trait (`Klib`) that the platform/board layer must implement. The trait provides a handful of common kernel helpers such as:
- Memory mapping helpers
- Timing utilities (busy-wait)
- IRQ registration and enabling/disabling
The implementation is typically supplied by the platform layer (e.g., `modules/axklib-impl`) and consumed by drivers and other modules.
The crate also provides small convenience modules (`mem`, `time`, `irq`) that re-export the trait methods with shorter names to make call sites more ergonomic.
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
axklib = "0.2.0"
```
## Example
```rust
// 1. Map 4K of device MMIO at physical address `paddr`
// Returns axerrno::AxResult<VirtAddr>
let vaddr = axklib::mem::iomap(paddr, 0x1000)?;
// 2. Busy-wait for 100 microseconds
axklib::time::busy_wait(core::time::Duration::from_micros(100));
// 3. Register an IRQ handler
// Returns bool indicating success
axklib::irq::register(32, my_irq_handler);
fn my_irq_handler() {
// Handle interrupt...
}
```
