<title>About this Document</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>This specification defines the OpenPOWER ELF V2 application binary interface (ABI).
|
|
This ABI is derived from and represents the first major update to the Power ABI since the
|
|
original release of the IBM® RS/6000® ABI. It was developed to make extensive use of new
|
|
functions available in OpenPOWER-compliant processors. It expects an OpenPOWER-compliant
|
|
processor to implement at least Power ISA V2.07B with all OpenPOWER Architecture instruction
|
|
categories as well as OpenPOWER-defined implementation characteristics for some
|
|
implementation-specific features.
