Linux / Cortex M apps coexistance

[kko]

Hi,

we are using the i.MX 8M Nano unit to run Linux. The IC contains also the Cortex M7 processor. Is there available a tutorial on how to use simultaneously Cortex A (running Linux) and Cortex M7? How to share the memory? And what kind of development tools to use to build and download the apps for the M7 processor from Linux?

Regards

Krzysztof

Hello,

For cortex-M development you may refer to the SDK documentation available here:
https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/welcome

When you download the package for the device you will find the documentation in doc folder.

Regarding Memory and interaction between cores you may refer to the Linux documentation (i.MX Linux Reference Manual chapter 2.8 Remote processor messaging) available here:

Best regards,
Aldo.
