Hello,
with our ARM-Compiler-license (ARM-Compiler 5.06 Update 6, Build 750) we are not able the use the option Cortex-R5F (our MCU has this core inside, it's a TI Hercules TMS570LC4357 MCU).
So far, we use the option Cortex-R4F (license available for this).
Do we have any disadvantages when using Cortex-R4F instead of Cortex-R5F for the TMS570LC4357 Hercules MCU?
Thanks in advance,
Jens
Thanks for confirming, I understand your situation now!
MDK only has limited support for certain Cortex-R4 devices, you should really be using Arm Development Studio.https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ka003842/latest
However for this instance, compiling for Cortex-R4 should work OK... the pipelines are I believe identical. I doubt the RTOS makes use of SMP capabilities of the Cortex-R5.
You may have issues when it comes to debug though... which debug solution are you using?
Thank you for the confirmation that Cortex-R4 is a valid option for us.
Multi-Processing is not a functionality of the RTOS we use.
My colleagues are using iSYSTEM’s winIDEA and TI's Code Composer Studio.
