Asymmetric multiprocessing with two A7 cores of i.MX7

[j-p-b-20]

Hello,

I am working with i.MX7 that has a two A7 cores and a M4 core. In the first one is running Linux and the second one bare-metal. Now, I need to separated the two A7 cores and run a bare-metal (independent of M4) in a A7 and Linux in other A7. The M4 still would run her bare-metal. 

Can I do this?

I had seen an example with i.MX6. It has two A9 core and in one core is running Linux and in the other core is running FreeRTOS, but i don't know if i can do something similar with the i.MX7

Thanks.

Hi Josu
