This workshop will answer the following questions:

• How to build a Linux platform, include an application and debug it seamlessly,
• How to master your Linux platform to optimize it to your needs and gain independence,
• Why Embedded Linux platform building must take into account the whole system and application development life cycle,
• How the integration of System Workbench for Linux and System Workbench for STM32 will simplify assymetric multicore system development and debug,
• How Ac6, Arrow and their partners can help you in your Linux Embedded projects,
• How to jumpstart your first project with System Workbench for Linux.

Agenda :

• The benefits of System Workbench for Linux with respect to open-source tools like Buildroot or YOCTO,
• Tool presentation and showcasing using an Avenger96 board based on the STM32MP1 assymetric multicore MPU from STMicroelectronics
  
• Multicore debugging of an assymetric application running on both the Cortex-A7 under Linux and the Cortex-M4
  
• Compatible with ARM-DS and VFP
• Trainings and associated services.

• On Cortex A7
  • We run a Linux kernel and rootfs generated using System Workbench for Linux
  • We capture images from the camera using gstreamer
  • We analyze it using OpenCV to detect the number of fingers raised
  • We display the camera output and the analysis output in a graphical interface built with QT
  • Depending on the fingers configuration, we send speed and direction orders to the Cortex-M4 through OpenAMP
• On Cortex M4
  • We receive speed and direction orders from the Cortex-A7 through OpenAMP
  • We control a motor, using two timers of the Cortex-M4 configured to generate PWM control signals to the motor
