The presentation will now discuss multi-core support, some specific additions have been made to SYS/BIOS and the IPC product to support the multi-cores on Concerto. This slide shows a picture to set the stage for the following slides. There are two cores, the host Cortex-M3 core on the left and the control C28x on the right. Both cores are running SYS/BIOS and an add-on package TI calls “IPC” (for interprocessor communication). Two modules are provided; MessageQ to send and receive variable sized messages, and Notify, for lower level basic communication. Both modules use shared memory and the inter-core interrupts on Concerto.
