Writing a "bare metal" operating system for Raspberry Pi 4 (Part 10)
|

|

|
Using multiple CPU cores
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
Instead of a background DMA transfer, I suggested that we might use a second CPU core to play the audio whilst our main core continues on. I also said it would be hard on the Raspberry Pi 4... and it is.
|
||
|
|
|

|
This code isn't great yet, but it's enough to prove the concept in principle. Importantly, you'll need to modify your _config.txt_ file on your SD card to include the following lines:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```c
|
||
|
|
kernel_old=1
|
||
|
|
disable_commandline_tags=1
|
||
|
|
arm_64bit=1
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For now, the points of interest in the code are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The new _boot.S_ and related _boot.h_ loader
|
||
|
|
* The new _multicore.c_ and _multicore.h_ files
|
||
|
|
* A slimmed down _io.h_ and _kernel.c_ (DMA sound removed), with a new approach to `main()`
|
||
|
|
* A revised _link.ld_
|
||
|
|
|

|

I will write more soon!
