7. ENEA Software Platform for KeyStone II SoC
 Components
 OSEck RTOS running AMP on c66x DSP cores
 ENEA Linux running SMP on ARM Cortex-A15 cores.
 DSP boot loading via Linux cmd-line.
 LINX IPC:
• ARM cores, DSP cores
• External devices – other Keystone II SoCs or other nodes via ethernet or SRIO
• LINX ARM <-> DSP cores using shared memory pools and with HW queues support
(QMSS, CPPI).
 ENEA Optima for debugging the DSP core in an Eclipse-based environment,
shared with Yocto ADT tools for ARM Linux debugging
