Power Architecture 64-Bit ELF V2 ABI Specification

This repository hold the source for the Power Architecture 64-bit ELF Version 2 ABI specification for the OpenPOWER Foundation. The PDF and HTML generated from the specification/ directory build a document that describe the ABI used by Linux on Power systems when running in little endian mode.

To build this project, one must ensure that the Docs-Master project has also been cloned at the same directory level as the ELFv2-ABI project. This can be accomplished with the following steps:

1. Clone the master documentation project (Docs-Master) using the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/OpenPOWERFoundation/Docs-Master.git

2. Clone this project (ELFv2-ABI) using the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/OpenPOWERFoundation/ELFv2-ABI.git

3. Build the project with these commands:

$ cd ELFv2-ABI
$ mvn clean generate-sources

The online version of the document can be found in the OpenPOWER Foundation Document library at TBD

The project which control the look and feel of the document is the Docs-Maven-Plugin project.
