* Host computer for running all the above software

 Contact us for the specifics of the in-class lab board or other customizations.

After completing this online training , you will have the necessary skills to:

  • Distinguish between asymmetric multi-processing (AMP) and symmetric multi-processing (SMP)environments
  • Identify situations when the ARM TrustZone technology and/or a hypervisor should be used
  • Effectively use power management strategies and leverage the capabilities of the platform management unit (PMU)
  • Define the boot sequences appropriate to the needs of the system
  • Define the underlying implementation of the application processing unit(APU) and real-time processing unit(RPU) to make best use of their capabilities

Topic Descriptions

Day 1

  • Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Application Processing Unit-Introduction to the members of the APU, Specifically the Cortex-A53 processor and how the cluster is configured and managed.
  • Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Real-Time Processing Unit-Introduction to the various elements within the RPU and different modes of configuration.
  • ARM TrustZone Technology-Illustrates the use of the ARM TrustZone technology.
  • QEMU-Introductions to the Quick Emulator, which is the tool used to run software for the Zynq UltraScale+MCPSoC device when hardware is not available.
  • Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC HW SW Virtualization - Covers the hardware and software elements of virtualization. The lab demonstrates how hypervisors can be used.
  • MultiProcessor Software Architecture - Introduces several potential architectures and illustrate the strengths of each.
  • Hypervisors - Description of generic hypervisors and discussion of some of the details of implementing a hypervisor using Xen.
  • OpenAMP-Introductions to the concept of OpenAMP 
  • Linux - Discussion and examples showing how to configure Linux to manage multiple processors.

Day 2

 

  • Yocto - Compares and contrasts the kernel building methods between a "pure" Yocto buld and the PetaLinux build (which uses Yocto "under-the-hood").
  • Open Source Library - Introduction to open-source Linux and the effort and risk-reducing PetaLinux tools.
  • FreeRTOS - Overview of FreeRTOS with examples of how it can be used.
  • Zynq UltraScale+MPSoC Software Stack-Introduction to what a software stack is and a number of stacks used with the Zynq UltraScale+MPSoC.
  • Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC PMU -Investigation into the tools and techniques for debugging a Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device.
  • Zynq UltraScale+MPSoC Power Management-Overview of the PMU and the power-saving features of the device.
  • Zynq UltraScale+MPSoC Booting -How to implement the embedded system, including the boot process and boot image creation. Also how to detect a failed boot.
