I am not getting a good tutorial for syslink usage. Please guide me to some example or steps on using syslink

I want to write an matrix multiply application which involves process on one core creating the the data on shared memory space for matrix A and B and sending a message to other cores of the offset and size in the memory from where they have to pick up the data and do computation. I would like to know, what IPC is good to use.

    Hi, Ajay,

    Have you read the syslink in the Software Ecosystem Features of linux-c6x.org? In that Syslink page, there is another link to more info about syslink. Hope these info are helpful if you have not read them yet.

    I have gone through that page and it just tells me an example on how to run. I want to build an application using syslink. I want to know few details like does Linux c6x have multicore and IPC API's? What are the API's for syslink in Linux c6x.

    Hi, Ajay,

    One of the demo examples is to send messages between core 0 running Liinux and core 1-7 running SYS/BIOS. You can take a look at the example code on Linux side to see what are the APIs it uses. Linux code including application example, syslink, ipc, etc.,  will be under hlos, and SYS/BIOS code are under rtos.
