Can you please mention the compatibility of Arm Cortex-M52 with M-profile Vector Extension (MVE) in the following two files?

• https://github.com/cpussw01/FreeRTOS-Kernel/blob/feature/add-cortex-m52-support/examples/template_configuration/FreeRTOSConfig.h#L609
• https://github.com/cpussw01/FreeRTOS-Kernel/blob/feature/add-cortex-m52-support/portable/ThirdParty/GCC/ARM_TFM/README.md

Also I think it's worth adding Arm Cortex-M52 to the list of platforms that can call security services in TF-M through PSA APIs in here.

Thank you.

Since an example was created during the port validation, could you please open a PR for the Cortex-M52 demo?

Thank you

Thank you

To make the work more clear.
Do you mean create another PR for FreeRTOS-Partner-Supported-Demos repo (Not FreeRTOS-Kernel) , to submit Cortex-M52 demo?

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

Thank you . Here I want explain and clarify something:
First. Above mentioned Cortex-M52 demo is target for our inner Cortex-M52 FPGA development board (not been publicly released). This demo is roughly modified based on CORTEX_M85_MPU_PXN_FVP_GCC demo, just for the purpose of quick verification for code changes. Tested that Cmake build works and FreeRTOS kernel works on Cortex-M52 processor. It's a draft demo for verification purpose, not for public release.
Second. To develop an public FreeRTOS Coretx-M52 demo. we plan to make it target for FVP_MPS2_Cortex-M52, it's an official FVP form ARM. This work is what we plan to do , but not ready now.

Totally, I plan to develop a Coretx-M52 demo target for FVP_MPS2_Cortex-M52, and submit to FreeRTOS-Partner-Supported-Demos repo. But it take some times.
Another question, will this demo work block current PR (Add ARM Cortex-M52 port support FreeRTOS)?

No, the demo is not a blocker for this PR but it'd be great to add the demo whenever you can so that users and developers who are interested in using Arm Cortex-M52 with FreeRTOS-Kernel can have a reference example.

Thanks

Get it. I will do this work later.

I find it that .github/scripts/kernel_checker.py execute failed. So , Do i need to modified this file to pass the Kernel-Checker item?

Hi @cpussw01,

Thank you for your contribution!

Per https://www.freertos.org/Documentation/02-Kernel/03-Supported-devices/03-Official-vs-3rd-party, this PR should be opened to https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Kernel-Community-Supported-Ports (seeing as their is no demo and we have not been able to test this on our side).

Once a demo project is created, we can consider doing a full review and adding it along officially supported ports.

Best,

Jason Carroll

Hi Jason
I get what you mean ,and I'm planning to add Cortex-M52 demo to https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Partner-Supported-Demos .
I plan to refer related Cortex-M55 demo , but I can't find it Cortex-M55 demo in this repo.
Do FreeRTOS related repo has Coretx-M55 demo, so that Cortex-M52 demo can refer it and be more easy.
Thank you.

Assuming that this change is from ARM, is it possible to use the same license header as in port.c:

I discussed this with @aggarg, and since this is pretty much a replica of the M55 port, we agreed to proceed with merging here. Just fix the headers as @aggarg outlined and we can merge. Thanks for your contribution!

Hi aggarg

I want to explain that this code change is from ARM China
It's an independently operated joint venture
