How do I boot HPS of Cyclone V SoC on AMP

Considering a final product, to get an AMP system up and running can be done like this:

1 - A single image is loaded in memory, core# 0 starts and core# 0 informs core# 1 where to start executing in this image.

That requires you to merge the 2 app in a single image.

2 - Load an image, then the core# 0 loads another image and inform core# 1 where to start (using the loaded image).

In DS-5, as far as I know, there are not GUI set-ups to download 2 images.

You have to do it with a script.

In the Debugger tag, add the script in the box:

"Run debug initialization debugger script"

The script syntax is quite simple and in it you can perform 2 sequential loads if you are using 2 images.

I am not a fan of AMP if you ever think about using an RTOS on 2 cores.

For bare-metal, then we can simplify your life. Go to:

code-time.com

in the multi-core freeware section download uAbassi, (not mAbassi) for the Cyclone V.

There's a working bare-metal demo in it.

It should be easy to put your bare-metal 2 core application in that demo.

Instead of dealing with 2 images, you'll only have to deal with one image and 2 entry functions (one function per core).

And the debug script is included.
