Cortex-A78 Software Development

Course Objectives

Cortex-A78 is the fourth generation high-performance CPU based on DynamIQ technology.
The most efficient premium Cortex-A CPU. 
Cortex-A78 MPCore software development is a 4 days ARM official course.
The course goes into great depth and provides all necessary know-how to develop software for systems based on Cortex-A78 processors.  
The course introduces the ARMv8-A architecture and its extensions, instruction set, and the new model to handle interrupts and exceptions. 
The course continues by covering the Cortex-A78 MPCore architecture based on DynamIQ technology, memory management unit, memory model, cache and branch prediction, cache coherency, processes synchronization, boot process, barriers, virtualization, Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC), System MMU (SMMU), power management, debug, security, RAS support, and DynamIQ Shared Unit (DSU).
