v6 v7 15 15 * '''Internal peripherals''' are replicated in all clusters. Each internal peripheral is a private resource that can only be used by the kernel instance running in the local cluster. There is very few internal peripherals. examples are the generic ICU device (Interrupt Controller Unit), or the generic MMC (L2 Cache Configuration). 16 16 17 ALMOS-MK supports ''multi-channels'' peripherals, where one single peripheral controller contains N channels that can run in parallel. Each channel has a separated set of addressable registers, and each channel can be used by the OS as an independent device controller. Examples are the TXT peripheral (one channel per text terminal), or the NIC peripheral (one channel per MAC interface).17 ALMOS-MK supports ''multi-channels'' peripherals, where one single peripheral controller contains N channels that can run in parallel.
