Arria 10 DevKit: Bare metal multi-core startup example

I've recently started playing with an Arria 10 dev kit. Are there any bare metal example projects that start up both of the ARM cores ?​

With ARM, multi-core start-up is always the same:

  • Core #0 is the one running first, all others are held in reset
  • Core #0 sets the VBAR register of the other cores to tell them where to start running
  • Core #0 releases from the other cores from reset

You can get a functional example in our freeware page - www.code-time.com
