Seeking for Prcessor which do not need OS

[TEMCEFF]

Hello everyone... We Efftronics systems Pvt ltd are developer of various Embedded systems. Mostly we are using Cortex-M controllers for our applications.Now, we wanted to move to Cortex-A processors for our high end applications. As we have seen everywhere, processors are dealing with OS but we are seeking for processors which do not need OS means which can run without OS. Why we are asking like this is, when we go to OS like things, it mess up.. so we think to not use OS.

Please anyone suggest some solution...and what is the importance of OS in processors..?keerthisripallapothu‌

Hi Sathwik

one can look at i.MX6UL  FreeRTOS

Board Support Packages (7)
SDK2.2_iMX6UL_WIN(REV SDK2.2)

Hello Igor...thanks for your reply.

i.Mx6, does this really don't need OS??  Can I program this processor with my regular C language coding skills??

Can I manage multiple cores without OS??

Finally, what I need is Processor which do not need OS for any reason?? Does this i.Mx6 series comply my need?

Hi Sathwik

one can also look at baremetal SDK:

Github SDK
https://github.com/backenklee/swp-report/tree/master/iMX6_Platform_SDK

>Can I manage multiple cores without OS??

yes. However it requires more programming skills and hardware knowledge,

compared with OS usage.

>Finally, what I need is Processor which do not need OS for any reason?? Does this i.Mx6 series comply my need?

i.Mx6 series can be used without OS, with baremetal codes. There is one exception case: graphics/video

(gpu/vpu modules in some processors) which can be used only with OS.
