Hi,

for my application I need the core IDs of the z6 and z0 core to distinguish between those two. How do I get this IDs in my application?

Best regards,

Tim

Hi Lukas,

I've got another question regarding the CoreID. Do you have an example for the processor_number() function which is used in the example above? I don't actually know how to get the ID in my c code.

In case of GHS compiler you could just use __MFSPR(286)

Hi Tim,

you can use something like this:

unsigned int asm Read_Processor_ID(void)

{   

    mfspr r3,286     /* r3 is used for return value (given by EABI standard for power architecture), so just load the PIR register (SPR 286) to r3 */

}

Then just call the function:

unsigned int CoreID;

CoreID = Read_Processor_ID();
