I would like to use iMX6 in asymmetric mode (Windows EC7 + Linux). Is that anyhow possible? Marco

One of my customer is considering to use Cortex A9 dual core device for a computational intensive task (For the sake of discussion, lets assume an high end
image analysis task). Due to cost or other over head reasons, he/she does not prefer to use an RTOS…
Hi,
I'm currently working on a project based on the Arria V SoC FPGA (ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore). The goal of this project is to run a high speed ethernet link.
For some reasons the customer don't want to use a Linux kernel on the ARM. His wish is to have…
We've been using TI's Panda board but it seems to give us quite a bit of trouble. As a result we can't profile the information that we would like. Does anyone know of any other development boards out there that has a Cortex-A9 on it? And what experiences…
These days I'm using Xilinx SoC to design a software, which shares memory between Cortex-A cores and FPGA.
I've tried reserve memory in Linux and mmap() /dev/mem. The problem is if I use O_SYNC, it very slow since
my software access every byte computed…
Hi All!
I am working with a Xilinx Zynq 7000 SoC which uses the Cortex A9 as a CPU.
I've observed a problem wherein a section of memory marked strongly-ordered and non-cacheable (0xc02) in the MMU table gets corrupted by what appears to be L1 evictions…
Hi,
I am using I.MX6Q Sabre sd board (cortex-a9 ). I am trying to build custom image with my own start script and ld script. The image is to be loaded with u-boot. Where should i place the Interrupt vector table? Now, when i reffered the "1.1.0_iMX6_Platform_SDK…

How to find Physical address form this?
Hello,
In Cortex, A9 CPU register CPSR tells the current execution mode , bit M[3;0]
I am looking for if there is similar register present in A64 architecture .
Reading ESR_EL3/EL2/EL1, I think this is difficult to determine, if system in IRQ mode or…
Hello!
I'm using a Zybo board with a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and I'm trying to read (and then write) the registers of the processor. How can I read these values into variables in C code?
Thank you!
Hello everyone. I'm trying to understand how to create and make work two separate baremetal programms on two cores of cortex-a9. I'm using Cyclone V SoC. DS-5, arm compiller 5, DE1-SoC board by terasic. I already understand how to work with main core…

With so many ARM based multicore boards coming to market we are hearing more about systems running multiple operating systems on similar cores (SMP, symmetric multi-processing) or differing cores (AMP, asymmetric multiprocessing).
So why would…
VIA Embedded has so far two Freescale i.MX6Q based products, the VAB-820 board and the matching AMOS-820 system. We have started to move from LTIB-based BSP images to Yocto recently for multiple reasons.

The first, very practical one is that Freescale…
As we started to research ARM based Embedded Computing Board (ECB) manufacturers for our Embedded Computing Board (ECB) Resource Guide Dave Tokic of Xilinx told us that there are now 25 companies making ECBs based on the Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoC.
If you…
There was so much I wanted to share about my one day at Maker Faire that I needed to write two blogs. My first thoughts are in My First Maker Faire: Engineers and Kids at Play.
While my son played on an iPad, I joined…
This is a monthly series featuring embedded developers of the ARM Connected Community.

Before GPIO, I've been working…
In the spirit of some of the more well-known ARM-based development boards and their popular communities, I was curious what other innovative ideas are out there being crowdsourced. Just a bit of research quickly revealed eight ARM-based embedded projects…
