Processor used in ARM v8-A foundation

techguyz

Hi Experts,

What is the specific processor type used in the ARM V8-A foundation models ?

In the documentation provided it is referred generically as core1 - 4. Is it configurable to any ARM V8 A series processors like A53/72 ?

Regards,

Techguyz

    It is a generic 64 bit v8 CPU. It has limited configurability and none of the IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED registers that the Cortex A53/7 or A72 have.

    The purpose of the Foundation Platform model is to boot a specific v8 Linux image and enable application development and porting - where applications are largely agnostic to the individual variances between v8 cores.

    If you need a configurable v8 model that can take on attributes of the wide range of v8 cores available I suggest the AEMv8A model.

    regards
