--- Quote Start --- The NIOS uCLinux does not support SMP (Symmetrical Multi Processor i.e. multiple processors are managed by the OS). But you can define multiple processors in the FPGA and have one of them run uCLinux, while the other(s) do dedicated realtime work, e.g. in a "closed loop" application. I suppose in most applications this makes more sense, anyway. -Michael[/b] --- Quote End --- Thank you for you reply!! Yep,my suppose for the project frame is like you said. My original purpose of this thread is to ask whether ERIKA Enterprise will help, in the frame just like you said. It seems like you have done the multiple processor case, can you give more details about the 'closed loop'? Take an example of 2cpu. cpu0 charges with uclinux, cpu1 charges with realtime work. what storage space (sdram,on-chip..)should each one use? imagine the cpu0 startup firstly,how to trigger the cpu1 run with"closed loop"? looking forward to your reply,thank you very much!!
