How to generate the Muticore App image for the GP and HS-FS HW versions

I am creating a multicore app image for R5F0_0 and R5F0_1, and you have to follow the same procedure for the other cores as well.

Take any two examples, in my case I have taken examples from R5F0_0 and R5F0_1, and compile two individually, you will get RPRC images from the below folder.

Keep two RPRC images in a particular folder to generate the Multicore App image.

Now, you can follow the procedure below to generate a multi-core app image for both GP and HS-FS HW versions.

Please use the below command for generating a GP (General Purpose) app image from RPRC images.

GP version :

C:\Test\debug_combined.appimage - > Give your destination folder path, and it should have the Multicore app image.

C:\Test\empty_am64x-evm_r5fss0-0_freertos_ti-arm-clang.rprc@4 - > Give your RPRC image path of R5F0_0

C:\Test\POR\empty_am64x-evm_r5fss0-1_nortos_ti-arm-clang.rprc@5 - > Give your RPRC image path of R5F0_1

Command :

C:\ti\sysconfig_1.12.1\nodejs\node multicoreImageGen.js --devID 55 --out C:\Test\debug_combined.appimage C:\Test\empty_am64x-evm_r5fss0-0_freertos_ti-arm-clang.rprc@4 C:\Test\POR\empty_am64x-evm_r5fss0-1_nortos_ti-arm-clang.rprc@5

You have to open the command prompt window from the below path and give above command .

C:\ti\mcu_plus_sdk_am64x_08_05_00_24\tools\boot\multicoreImageGen

Please use the below command for generating HS-FS App image from GP App image.

HS-FS Version :

C:/MutiImage_Gen/debug_combined.appimage - > Give your GP App image path .

C:/MutiImage_Gen/ipc_rpmsg_echo_system.appimage.hs_fs - > Give your destination folder path, and it should have the Multicore HS FS app image.

Command :

python C:/ti/mcu_plus_sdk_am64x_08_05_00_24/tools/boot/signing/appimage_x509_cert_gen.py --bin C:/MutiImage_Gen/debug_combined.appimage --authtype 1 --key C:/ti/mcu_plus_sdk_am64x_08_05_00_24/tools/boot/signing/rom_degenerateKey.pem --output C:/MutiImage_Gen/ipc_rpmsg_echo_system.appimage.hs_fs

You have to open the command prompt window from any where i your system and give above command .

Please use the link below for different core selections to generate the app image.
