# Zephyr OS-based EC Initialization Order
Zephyr provides Z_INIT_ENTRY_DEFINE() & the extend macro to install the initial
function. The initialize flow for different levels would be like the following
(not very detailed):
* architecture-specific initialization
* `PRE_KERNEL_1` level
* `PRE_KERNEL_2` level
* `POST_KERNEL` level
* `APPLICATION` level
* main()
The kernel and driver initial functions separate into specific initialize
levels. It couldn't put all initial functions in main() for the Zephyr OS-based
EC. It is also hard to maintain those initial priority which separates into
different files.
This file defines some Zephyr OS-based EC initial priorities which have critical
sequence requirement for initializing:
## PRE_KERNEL_1
* Priority (0-9) - Reserved for system testability:
The highest priority could be used in zephyr. Don't use it when system
development. Buffer it for the following system development & testing.
* Priority (10-19) - Chip level system pre-initialization:
These priorities in this range are used for critical chip initialization,
including determining the reset cause and initializing the battery-backed
RAM driver. Most chip drivers should only be initialized after
`PLATFORM_EC_SYSTEM_PRE_INIT`.
* Priority (20) - PLATFORM_EC_SYSTEM_PRE_INIT:
At this initialization priority, the CROS system checks the reset cause and
initializing the system reset flags. Any chip level drivers related to
determining the reset type must be at a higher priority.
* TODO
## PRE_KERNEL_2
* TODO
## POST_KERNEL
* TODO
## APPLICATION
* TODO
## main()
* TODO
* Start the tasks.
