Could XUP be uesd as a SMP platform

[John Linn]

No, the PowerPC 405s can’t be used as a SMP platform.  The 405 caches are not designed with cache coherency for SMP.

 

Thanks,

John

Subject: Could XUP be uesd as a SMP platform

 

Hi  all,

I am working with a Xilinx Virtex II Pro evaluation board, which has two PowerPC 405 and I have ported linux 2.6.24 onto that board when there is one PPC405 configured.

I'd like to use this board as a SMP platform. Is it feasible?

If it works, what steps should i follow? Could you give me some recommendations or any literatures I could refer to?

Thanks a lot!
