bare metal code for iMX8X

[sanjana]

Hello,

We are using imx8x processor and want to do bare metal programming for cortex A-35.

Do we have bare metal support for cortex A-35 on the imx 8x processor?

If so, please let me know how to proceed to get them.

No, NXP doesn't have a bare metal programming support for the i.MX8X series processors.

Hello Artur,

Thank you for the reply.

Is it mandatory to have OS for A-35 core?

This is mandatory to have OS for i.MX8X series processors, since they have so-called System Control Unit (SCU) hardware that manages all the SoC internally and only can be controlled through so-called System Control Firmware (SCFW) interface by OS.
