ChibiOS Free Embedded RTOS

Not really, the ARM port already runs on Cortex-A, it is a good solution.

Hi,

Just my 2 cents.
Software running on hi-end cores would run Linux, Android, Windows,....to benefit from existing softwares, packages, stacks,...
ChibiOs, any other RT kernel, would run on the Cortex-M cores to handle ..... the real time stuff

So, for these kind of devices and OSes, there is a need of IKSP, inter-kernel support package.

An IKSP is a nice idea.

There is space for an RTOS IMHO for applications like hypervisors and trust zone, Linux and the rest would run in a VM. You could have Linux and a realtime VM with RTOS.

Now I need to set up a platform for testing, a dual Cortex-Ax or Cortex-R52 or dual PowerPC.

What was the outcome of all this? Any plans to merge this into master? Any official Cortex-R support in ChibiOS?

Hi,

Not yet but it will happen, basically it is the existing ARM port with minor improvements.

Multi core in RT7 is mostly done, I am waiting for a suitable platform to test it.

Giovanni

ChibiOS already supports Cortex-A and I have already MP1 boards. Cortex-A is not really a focus for ChibiOS, you want to run Linux on something like that, this is why I am not pushing on the MP1.

L5, W and newer H7s have higher priority.

ST Stellar MCU was announced only 11 months ago and it's complete silence since?

That is the R52 I was referring to...

I am involved on Stellar development, I can't disclose details but it is alive and well, it will be awesome

C'mon, can you say anything? 2020 availability or 2023? flying lead packages or only BGA?

Packages are under discussion, cannot comment, sorry.

Personally I would like to see multiple options.
