Linux and MQX RTOS in Asymmetric Multiprocessing environments: application in a drone navigation system

This thesis aims at studying the Asymmetric Multi-Processing architecture on the i.MX 6SoloX SABRE board, featuring an ARM Cortex-A9 core and an ARM Cortex-M4 core. As a tangible application of the exploitability of this heterogeneous architecture, the prospect of using the board as a quadcopter's on-board flight control system is illustrated. A demo implementing IMU polling and data fusing algorithms is developed for the board running MQX RTOS on the Cortex-M4 core and Linux on the Cortex-A9
