Im trying to create a project for MPC5748G that uses the SDK. I would like (for ease of maintenance sake) to be able to use a single set of drivers in the source code for both Z4 cores. I would also like to be able to have a single ELF file for both cores. I looked at creating a library but there does not seem to be a way to use the SDK as part of the library.
Any recommendations?
Hi,
quick update - I just realized that there is example for single multicore MPC5748G elf already in S32DS Power v2017.R1 (but without SDK):
Hope it helps.

Thanks Jiri. I did eventually notice that one and the 5777c example in the community
The more difficult aspect is using the sdk driver as a shared resource. I’ll have more talks with the customer to see how they might block access for running from flash or spawn multiple versions in ram to execute. Maybe they are not contemplating the ramifications of shared resources

Hi Daniel,
If we avoid sharing resources by making sure each peripheral is only used by at most 1 core, can we use one PE configuration and one set of SDK drivers (and one ELF file) for all three cores? For example, if each of the 3 cores uses a different SPI port (provided we configure any clocks or global settings in a coordinated way without conflicts), do you know of any issue using a single set of SDK drivers?
Is there an example project that does this? (MPC5748G)
Thank you,
Dave
Actually - today I answered Salesforce ticket related to library based on SDK - it may be usable way for your case - have one project for library and use functions from that lib (or pointers to functions form shared memory space).

Hi,
we have example related to multicore single elf - https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-335462
About SDK resources sharing across cores - I'm afraid that easier way will be create project without SDK. May be someone from SDK team will explain how to do it easily with SDK, but for me it looks too complicated with the generated code and so on.
In SDK are some multicore examples - you can look at them (interrupt_control_multicore and hw semaphores).
