The VxWorks AE shared memory system over cPCI must be assigned PCI bus resources, specifically address space, when initialized. In Foundation HA, bus configuration and assignment of bus resources is handled by the PCI Resource Provisioning Manager (RPM). Shared memory must be initialized after Foundation HA has completed its initialization. To facilitate this, two new components have been added: END_LOAD_LATE and SMEND_LOAD_LATE. END_LOAD_LATE allows a list of END drivers to be initialized and loaded at the appropriate time, and SMEND_LOAD_LATE adds the shared memory END driver to this list. Shared memory requires that one node act as a master node while all others act as slaves. This is another random sentence.
