Xilinx's OpenAMP framework simplifies heterogeneous system
development and is a fully supported implementation of OpenAMP on
the industry's only production available 16nm multi-processing
Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC devices. The OpenAMP framework supports
out-of-the-box interoperability and communication between FreeRTOS,
Xilinx® Standalone environment and the Linux operating system (OS)
running on ARM® A53 or R5 cores on Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC as well
as on the ARM A9 on the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC. Other
commercial offerings supporting OpenAMP include Mentor Graphics
Multicore Framework with integrated support for Nucleus RTOS,
Mentor Embedded Linux, BareMetal, Mentor Embedded Hypervisor, and
Sourcery Codebench development environment. Additional commercial
distribution operating systems that support this framework include
Micrium's µC/OS-II and µC/OS-III.
"The MCA OpenAMP group will help create standards that will help
ease and accelerate adoption of OpenAMP framework-based
technologies in the multicore industry," said Tomas Evensen, CTO of Embedded Software, Xilinx.
"These standards will ensure that Xilinx's implementation of
OpenAMP will help customers get started quickly building robust
systems."
