Zephyr Multicore Development

Leverage multiple CPU cores to increase performance, isolate critical tasks, and integrate heterogeneous systems.

Core Workflows

1. SMP Configuration

Run the Zephyr kernel and your threads across multiple identical cores.

• Reference: smp_configuration.md
• Key Tools: CONFIG_SMP, k_spinlock, Thread Affinity.

2. OpenAMP & RPMsg

Communicate between heterogeneous cores (e.g., A-series and M-series) using standard protocols.

• Reference: openamp_rpmsg.md
• Key Tools: CONFIG_OPENAMP, message vrings, Resource Tables.
