Enable/Disable Application and network Core

[kishan21]

I want to Enable and Disable Application and network core at some point in the mid of the code.
What configuration would i be required to switch the cores or Enable/Disable the cores?

Hi Kishan,

Do you wish to communicate between the cores? There are codes separate for the cores, i.e. network core is used for radio applications and real-time processing using radio protocols and application core is mostly used for the other. Also, it is possible to use only one core at a time. So there cannot be any code or app whose parts each core can run. You can use the OpenAMP to communicate between the cores.

Regards,

Priyanka

Hi Priyanka,
I don't want to communicate between cores.
Let me rephrase that-

I want to enable and disable particular core, do I need to enable/disable it before the code starts it's execution?
if yes,
how to do that?
else
I want to enable and disable particular core while execution of the code(how to do that?)

For example- I want to disable the network core that is using radio applications for some time while application core is running, and want to enable the network core after some time while still the application core is running.

Hi Kishan,

Like I mentioned earlier, separate applications run on both cores. It is not like a normal computer in which different cores ca run various parts of the same app at the required times. So ideally the application core always runs from startup, but this can say, start the network core too or you can start the application core and never start the network core too. Kindly take a look at this empty firmware.
