Hi,<br>
<br>
How is the number of processors to be used for an application specified?<br>
The used count minimum of that supported in hardware and that configured. How to specify the latter?<br>

and see the smptests. Many of which do specify the maximum.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I wish to understand where the interprocessor interrupts are<br>
used during the boot process. During final initialization of<br>
SMP I can see<br>
<br>
rtems_interrupt_handler_install(<br>
ARM_GIC_IRQ_SGI_0,<br>
"IPI",<br>
RTEMS_INTERRUPT_UNIQUE,<br>
bsp_inter_processor_interrupt,<br>
NULL<br>
);<br>
<br>
Raspberry Pi 2 does not have the generic interrupt controller.<br>
Interrupt routing will have to be handled differently. So I<br>
wish to understand how/ where it is used. I suppose this might<br>
be the problem.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sorry, that the documentation is so scattered. I think we should<br>
move everything into the CPU Architecture Supplement. It would be<br>
nice if you can help to improve the documentation since you have a<br>
different view point.<br>
<br>
You must install the IPI during the system initialization. It is<br>
raised via the _CPU_SMP_Send_interrupt() function, for an example<br>
see arm-a9mpcore-smp.c.<br>
<br>
I could locate the function in arm-a9mpcore-smp.c. but it would be helpful if I can know where this being called from, a deeper call hierarchy, so that I can ascertain this is a problem. I can see a Send_messgae function call this. But don't know where the send message is being called from.<br>
<br>
<br>
You can run one of the SMP tests on the realview_pbx_a9_qemu_smp BSP on Qemu and set a break point to _CPU_SMP_Send_interrupt() if you want to know how it is used.<br>
