→Running the AMP on the target
echo "now Linux is running with $(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l) processors"

It is worth remembering that the previous commands load the required drivers to run the AMP configuration. Specifically, they:
*Release one of the Cortex A9 cores; the released core will be used to run the FreeRTOS-based example application
*Set up the RPmsg communication channel between the Linux kernel and the FreeRTOS kernel
*Load the code of the FreeRTOS-based example application into SDRAM memory (the code is retrieved from the <code>/lib/freertos</code> ELF file)
*Set up the devoted core to run the FreeRTOS-based example application.

This application is extremely useful for evaluating how CPU load on first core affects IRQ latency. In case latency does not satisfy real-time requirements, it may be necessary to adjust the arbitration priorities of processor's interconnect subsystem.
