Overview

Industrial embedded systems are balancing traditional and proven real-time solutions based on bare-metal or real-time operating system (RTOS) with new requirements to add cloud connectivity and advanced graphical interfaces. Linux is often the most efficient way to provide sophisticated and secure cloud connectivity and enable advanced human machine interfaces (HMIs). Modern embedded processors such as the Sitara AM5728 processor offer the ability to integrate the functionality of a real-time application with Linux. This reference design uses ARM® Cortex®-A15 cores and an open source static hypervisor called Jailhouse to support the coexistence of real-time and Linux applications.

Features
  • Jailhouse Embedded Hypervisor running on Sitara AM572x with Linux on one ARM Cortex-A15 core and bare-metal on the other ARM Cortex-A15 core
  • Demonstration of static partitioning of AM572x peripherals between Linux and bare metal
  • Demonstration of support for running a bare-metal binary and an RTOS-based binary on the second core
  • Performance (interrupt latency) measurements for the virtualized bare-metal system with and without a processing load on Linux
  • Tested on the TMDXIDK5728 and TMDSEVM5728 evaluation boards

Release Infomation

 

 

 

Thank you for your interest in the AM57xx Processor Software Development Kit (SDK) for a real-time operating system (RTOS). This software accelerates application development schedules by eliminating the need to create basic system software functions from scratch.

 

 

The SDK includes a real-time multitasking kernel, FAT file system, network communications support, examples, and drivers. The exact content of the SDK depends on the capabilities of the device, but all devices share common APIs and build on existing proven software components to ensure reliability and quality. The software components are fully tested to ensure that they work together with TI's Code Composer Studio integrated development environment.

 

 

More Information If you'd like more information on all of these choices, please refer to the Processor RTOS SDK Getting Started Guide. For a complete overview of the SDK, please refer to the Processor RTOS SDK Software Developer Guide.
