IntroductionEdit
Asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP for short) is getting popular in the embedded world, thanks to the availability of multi-core embedded processors. It is particularly useful tom combine in one single chip two different operating systems (o.s.). One of the most common combination is the use of a general purpose operating system (GPOS) with a real-time o.s. (RTOS), in order to meet both hard real-time and generic connectivity/user interface requirements with a highly integrated solution.
AMP can be implemented in
