    Hi all,


    I am looking for a development kit that supports an asymmetrical multiprocessing system configuration (linux + freeRTOS and/or linux + linux), in order to performe some performance studies as part of my Msc thesis.

    Have anyone ever configured the udoo iMX6 as AMP, or knows how to do so? I haven't found any tutorial so far.


    I'll be grateful for any help you may provide (unfortunatly I am a software developer, not properly an embedded systems developer).

    Hi there UDOODE and welcome to the UDOO forum!
    What do you exactly mean by AMP?

    Hi Andrea. I m talking about Asymmetric MultiProcessing: running two (or more) operating systems systems at the same time. For instance, it would be great to be able to configure the UDOO freescale i.MX6 DualLite processor to run a normal linux in the core0 and a real-time OS (or even a baremetal software) in the core1.

    I've read that hypervisor can be used to run 2 operating systems at the same time, but I don't think that it allocates a core for each OS.


    I also believe that in the UDOO is possible to run a linux in the freescale processor and a freeRTOS in the SAM3X8E but thats not exaclty my goal.

    you can check get concept in the following presentation: http://www.freescale.com/files/training ... lang_cd=en
    ( slides 8-10, ... hope there is no problem adding the link )
