Bare Metal Code Development for iMX8M Mini

Hi, 

We are using iMX8M Mini (Part Number: MIMX8MM3CVTKZAA) which is built around Dual A53 Core (2xA53) and a M4 core. Our product will go to Avionics. Since aviation requires lot of certifications, we cannot use Linux (Yocto or similar) in our processor. We need to write Bare-Metal code for both the core from scratch.

I have couple of questions, 

  1. I hope it is possible to develop Bare-metal code for A53 core. Will there be any restrictions?
  2. Are there any free tools available from ARM for bare-metal code development? I heard about DS Studio, but it is a subscription based. 

I talked about this with NXP, but they didn't give any concrete answer. Hence, posting here.

Let me know if you need any more information. 

Thanks & Regards,

  • Hey Andy, 

    Thank you for your answer. Yes. We have developed lots of products which are certified for Aviation. However, this the first time, we are working on the processor which is this complex. 

    (Regarding tool qualification, I think what matters is the compiler, not the IDE. I will check with my other colleagues on this)
