AM6442: How to load FreeRTOS application along with Linux

I want to know how can we load a freeRTOS application when Linux is running already.

Can we access files that are in Linux Filesystem in freeRTOS projects? If Yes, How?

Thanks

Hello Himansu,

Which core(s) are you looking at loading freeRTOS on?

What are you trying to accomplish by sharing files between Linux and freeRTOS?

Regards,

Nick

I want to load freeRTOS on one of the R5 cores.

My application requires a configeration file to be opened and read during runtime. That's why I require a filesystem.

Hello Himansu,

Apologies for losing this thread. With the release of AM64x Linux Processor SDK 8.0 we provide updated documentation for loading a firmware into the R5s using Linux remoteproc Driver: https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/docs/08_00_00_21/linux/Foundational_Components_IPC64x.html

I am used to thinking about passing data between cores from a "raw data stored at a shared memory address" standpoint. Let me check with some other engineers on thoughts about passing full files.

Regards,

Nick
