Hello
I was looking for suggestions about a request a customer made to me
This customer has a system that is made up of two boards: a board with a very simple MCU and an SBC with a dual-core CPU that runs Linux
The first board id actually requested because, in case of system reset, the application starts immediately (MCU has no OS so there is not boot time)
In order to reduce costs, I was asked if it was possible to make the SBC run the application that runs on the MCU
I found this application note but it seems that the bare metal application (running on CPU1) needs to be initialized by Linux, so the boot time is still there
So my question is: is it possible to run a bare metal application before Linux starts?
Any advice is welcomed!
