Hello,
the design is a simple basic general multiprocessor system. If we need more memory it is available. And you should know how to add SDRAM on your system after the first laboratories.
In fact, it was another page of questions for this lab and I remove it as it was too time consuming for the students, but I keep the original design.
If you just want to do the minimum hardware, no problem.
For the timing measurement,
- you start your specific timer or GPIO to activate a pin, or you use the signal tap as you know to do timing measurment
- you activate the mutex and wait until the proc. have it
- to the activation of the selected GPIO pins
- release the mutex
- measure the timing
- do some statistics on this timing
Best.
