Remote Processor Framework in Zephyr RTOS

Explore the development and proposal of a Remote Processor subsystem for the Zephyr RTOS in this informative conference talk. Dive into the evolving landscape of IoT and Edge AI, focusing on the increasing demand for collaborative systems with heterogeneous multicore processors, DSPs, and hardware accelerators. Learn how the Remote Processor Framework enables different platforms and architectures to control remote processors without duplicating hardware-specific abstractions. Understand the limitations of current firmware loading and resource allocation methods, and discover how a dedicated remote processor subsystem in Zephyr RTOS can streamline the process of loading firmware and starting multiple cores in heterogeneous multicore processors. Gain insights into the potential applications and benefits of this framework, including reduced startup times and expanded possibilities for Zephyr usage in distributed and heterogeneous computing within embedded systems.
