Does the threadx support cortex-R8 smp system?

Question

hi
I have a project that using the cortex-R8 smp soc, but i found that the newest version of threadx only support cortex-R7, and found no result of cortex-R series in ports_smp folder. So i want to know that:

1. Is there any plan that support the cortex-R SMP series?
2. If no recent plan, how can i port the newest version into R8 smp soc?

Answer 1

Hi, we currently do not have a ThreadX SMP port for the Cortex-R8. However, you should be able to easily derive Cortex-R8 support from the Cortex-A9 version on GitHub. It should be a matter of changing compilation switches, startup code, and linker control file settings to match your target memory configuration.
Rather than trying to support each individual port (e.g. R4/R5/R7/R8/A7/A8/A9/etc), we are going to make generic ports like ARMv7-A/R to cover everything, because these ports are really all the same to ThreadX.

Hi,
I am looking for a SMPport for R5. Is the above mentioned generic ports planned to be implemented soon??
Thanks and Regards
