Hello,

This thread will be assigned to the subject matter expert. Please allow some time for a response.

Hey Team,

Following up on this thread as I haven't heard back from the team.

Hi,

Bhavpreeta Charan said:

I think that SMP mode is supported in SDK v11. What is the level of completion of SMP mode in v12?

Could you please elaborate what is meant by the level of completion? Are they looking for any specific feature?

Bhavpreeta Charan said:

(2) Is it officially supported by TI or is it experimental feature? And is it at a level that can be used in commercial equipment?

Please take a note on what is mentioned in the release notes for MCU+SDK on A53:

Bhavpreeta Charan said:

Are there any example in SDK that support SMP mode?

Hello World SMP example is added in the SDK: https://software-dl.ti.com/mcu-plus-sdk/esd/AM62X/12_00_00_27/exports/docs/api_guide_am62x/EXAMPLES_HELLO_WORLD.html 

SMP Task Switch Example is also added: https://software-dl.ti.com/mcu-plus-sdk/esd/AM62X/12_00_00_27/exports/docs/api_guide_am62x/EXAMPLES_KERNEL_FREERTOS_SMP_TASK_SWITCH.html 

Best Regards,

Hey Meet,

Thank you for sharing useful information.

Could you please explain what is the difference between experimental feature and reference feature? 

Even if MCU+SDK is provided as reference to customer, will the next SDK updates include A53 support or not? 

For experimental feature, my understanding was that experimental feature is not officially supported and no clear plans of until when this feature will be supported in MCU + SDK. Please correct me if I am wrong.

And regarding E2E queries related to A53 and MCU+SDK, who can customer reach out to? Are all customer queries need to be directed to 3rd party?

I think customer want to understand if this feature provided in current SDK is still under development or not? Are there any further release plans for this feature?

Also could you please confirm this? My understanding is that we only have following link and the examples documentation you shared as SMP related documentation.
