• SMP Linux on a Minimal Dual-Core ARM Cortex-A15 System
    Previously , I explained how to create a minimal, single-core ARM® Cortex™-A15 system running Linux®. In this article I will update the hardware design to use a dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 CPU and run SMP...
  • ARM-A15 SoC integration for Simulation (VCS) How to Enable traces for debug
    Hi, I owe ARM-A15 integration and verification to our SoC simulation using VCS tools. I have no visibility or any way to track down the ARM Program counter for debug. Is there any ARM verification...
  • Running the Latest Linux Kernel on a Minimal ARM Cortex-A15 System
    Linux® has become a popular operating system in embedded products, and as a result is experiencing increased usage for system design and verification. This means that a new set of people, who are not...
  • Sometimes Hardware Details Matter in ARM Embedded Systems Programming
    Last week, I received the call for papers for the Embedded World Conference for 2015 . The list of topics is a good reminder of how broad the world of embedded systems is. It also reminded me how overloaded...
  • ARMV7A virtualization
    Hi, I am working on a hardware platform having 2 Cortex-A15 cores (with virtualization extensions). For routing IRQ's at PL2 to PL3 ( to hypervisor mode), I am setting HCR.IMO bit and it is working...
