PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X: Need some info on freeRTOS support in AM64x

Himansu Sethi

I need some information on freeRTOS support in the AM64x EVM board. So I am having questions like

1. Can we run the RTOS application on top of Linux Kernel? That means can we have both FreeRTOS and Linux simultaneously?

2. How can I have a freeRTOS console?

Any other info on the freeRTOS will be helpful. I have never worked in freeRTOS.

Thanks

Hi,

No, FreeRTOS runs on the R5 cores and Linux runs on the A53 cores.

Yes, because they are running on two different cores they run at the same time.

Please take a look at our MCU+ SDK documentation.

I also think the new MCU+ Academy would be very useful to you. While it says AM243x, it also applies to the R5F cores on the AM64x.
