MPFS AMP mode

[gsriker77]

In AMP mode, can we run 4 different Linux instances on the 4 U54 cores (one Linux instance per U54 core) ?

Thanks,

Doesn't seem so:

PolarFire SoC can be configured to run up to two independent software contexts. Each software context can have its own operating system, memory regions and hardware resources assigned.

The supported PolarFire SoC AMP software architecture is described below:

• 1x E51 monitor core which is dedicated to running the Hart Software Services (HSS)

• 4x U54 application cores which can be distributed between two independent software contexts
