FreeRTOS

Category: Software
Product Number: ADSP-SC598

Dear ADI team,

I need to evaluate the ADSP-SC598/94. Planning to use freeRTOS and have not seen the information about SHARC+ core modes supported. Is it a symmetric core as I need to run two process parallelly using OS scheduler in each of the core. Basically I would like to know whether the product support SMP and AMP modes using freeRTOS

Thank you

Chris

  • Hi Chris,


    We currently only support the single-core implementation of FreeRTOS, where each of the cores is running independent instances of FreeRTOS (or any other combination of RTOS/bare metal). There's no mechanism within FreeRTOS to share messages or scheduling between the cores so you would need to use some other mechanism such as MCAPI to do any inter-core communication.

    We're looking into some more streamlined inter-communication options but have no timeline for releases yet.

    Best Regards,
    Murray

  • Thanks Murray, I got the point
