How to get a FVP_BaseR_Cortex-R52x2 license?

Hi,

I am researching ARMv8-R virtualization.
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/102909/0100/SPIs-and-SGIs-example?lang=en

The example4 needs to use FVP_BaseR_Cortex-R52x2. How to get an evaluation license? 

Thanks!

Hi

My name is Stephen and I work at Arm.

In the latest Fast Models version 11.28, the separate Cortex-R52x1, x2 and x4 FVP models have been merged into a single FVP_BaseR_Cortex-R52 model.  The number of cores modelled is now configured with a "cluster0.NUM_CORES" switch.
For example, to launch a two-core model, use:

FVP_BaseR_Cortex-R52 -C cluster0.NUM_CORES=2

You can download Fast Models version 11.28 from:

https://developer.arm.com/downloads/view/FM000A?sortBy=availableBy&revision=r11p28-23rel0

If you already have Arm DS installed with an Evaluation license, then you might be able to use FVP_BaseR_Cortex-R52 in this way (sorry, I can't easily check this for you right now).

If that doesn't work, then you will need to "Open a Support Case" from the links at the bottom of this page, or at

https://support.developer.arm.com/my-cases/open-case/ 

Hope this helps

Hi Stephen,

I download Fast Models, but I find that Visual Studio is need to generate a executable .exe file, but I don't have Visual Studio license. Could you please help to generate a multicore version FVP_BaseR_Cortex-R52.exe？

And another question, does R52 support SMP? I see the default setting in the .launch is SMP

Hi again

I think you may have downloaded the wrong Fast Models bundle.

The "Fast Models 11.28 FVP ARM Std Library" contains pre-built FVP executables.
You can download it from developer.arm.com/.../FM000A
Scroll down towards the bottom of that page to find it.

After installation, you can find the FVP_BaseR_Cortex-R52.exe model in e.g.;
C:\Program Files\Arm\FVP_ARM_Std_Library\FVP_BaseR

The SMP connection for Cortex-R52 in the Arm Debugger supports e.g. Cortex-R52 in a lock-step configuration.

Hope this helps,

Stephen
