Cortex-A73 MPCore Software Development
Course Objectives
Cortex-A73 MPCore
software development is a 4 days ARM official course.
The course goes into great depth and provides all necessary know-how to develop software for systems based on Cortex-A73 processors.
The course starts with a quick review of the ARMv7-A architecture, then introduce the new 64-bit architecture, instruction set, and the new exception model to handle interrupts and exceptions.
The course continues by covering the Cortex-A73 MPCore architecture, memory management unit, memory model, cache and branch prediction, cache coherency, processes synchronization, boot process, barriers, virtualization, Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC), NEON coprocessor, power management, debug, security and OS support.
