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.

Motor control by gestures with System Workbench for Linux on STM32MP1 MCU (video presentation)

In the following video we showcase an assymetric application showing interaction between real-time and multimedia activities through OpenAMP:

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
