Skills gained
After completing this comprehensive training, you will have the necessary skills to:
  • Distinguish between asymmetric multi-processing (AMP) and symmetric multi-processing (SMP) environments
  • Identify situations when the ARM TrustZone technology and/or a hypervisor should be used
  • Effectively use power management strategies and leverage the capabilities of the platform management unit (PMU)
  • Define the boot sequences appropriate to the needs of the system
  • Define the underlying implementation of the application processing unit (APU) and real-time processing unit (RPU) to make best use of their capabilities
