AMP boot ARM iMX6

lucatardioli — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 13:07:56 GMT

Hi all,

I'm working with an ARM Cortex A9 iMX6 with two CPUs and I would like to run two different O.S. (yocto, debian or other linux distribution in one core and freeRTOS in the other).

Actually I have downloaded the Uboot sources code from git repository

uboot-imx.git - Freescale i.MX u-boot Tree

but I have very few experience in the Uboot programming and I like to have some advices about it.

I would like to run two O.S. without an Hypervisor but using uboot only. Is that possible?

Thanks in advice for help.

Hi Luca

nxp does not support amp for i.MX6D/Q processors in its official bsps described on

i.MX 6 / i.MX 7 Series Software and Development Tool|NXP

one can check third party solutions:

Boot The i.mx6 dual With Linux+uC/OS-II AMP
