Dual Core features of TMS570LS1224

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS570LS1224, HALCOGEN

Hi Friends,

How to get detail information of how to use two core of TMS570LS1224 microcontroller. Is there any Technical User Guide for this I want to use this features in my project, If anyone knows please let me know.

Thanks and Regards,

Arvind

    The dual cores of the TMS570LS12x operate in a lockstep configuration where the output of both cores is compared, which appears as a single core to the programmer. From section 2 Hercules TMS570LS12x and TMS570LS11x Product Overview of Safety Manual for TMS570LS12x and 11x HerculesTM ARM®-Based Safety Critical Microcontrollers User's Guide SPNU550:

    The Cortex-R4F CPU is implemented with a checker Cortex-R4F CPU in a lockstep configuration. This provides cycle by cycle checking of correct CPU operation while keeping a simple, easy to use single core programmer's model.

    To prevent core compare errors from being signaled, the Cortex-R4F Registers need to be initialized to be the same. See section 2.2 Initialize Cortex-R4F Registers from Initialization of HerculesTM ARM® CortexTM-R4F Microcontrollers SPNA106. The HALCoGen tool generates code for the required Cortex-R4F initialization.
