Description

Since AMP is not supported for the Zynq UltraScale+ APU (A53-0 thru A53-3), it would be useful if FreeRTOS with SMP was supported.

According to this link: FreeRTOS SMP on Github, SMP support has been merged into the main FreeRTOS-Kernel beginning with FreeRTOS v11.

Quote from the link above:
"FreeRTOS SMP feature has been merged into FreeRTOS-Kernel main branch. We recommend you to use the FreeRTOS-Kernel main branch to develop FreeRTOS SMP applications.”

From the FreeRTOS web-site: Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) with FreeRTOS

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked FreeRTOS SMP branch and the FreeRTOS SMP documentation, then locate the repository's existing support for the Zynq UltraScale+ APU. Define the integration scope and validation needed for SMP across A53-0 through A53-3; completion should demonstrate supported FreeRTOS SMP operation on that platform.
