SGI-575 platform software user guide

Introduction

SGI (System Guidance for Infrastructure) is a collection of resources to provide a representative view of typical compute subsystems that can be designed and implemented using specific generations of Arm IP. SGI-575 in particular is based on the following hardware configuration.

  • 8x Cortex-A75 with private L2 Cache

  • DynamIQ with L3 Cache options

  • System Level Cache options

  • Up to 2x DDR4-3200 (DMC-620)

  • Arm Cortex-M7 for System Control Processor (SCP) and Manageability Control Processor (MCP)

This document is a user guide on how to setup, build and run the SGI-575 software stack on the Fixed Virtual Platform. The components integrated into this stack is described in the software stack introduction page.

Setting up the Host Machine and downloading the software stack

Host Machine requirements and the necessary steps to be followed to sync the software stack are listed on Setup Workspace page.

Obtaining the SGI-575 FVP

The latest version of the SGI-575 fixed virtual platform (FVP) can be downloaded from the Arm Ecosystem FVPs page. On this page, navigate to “Neoverse Infrastructure FVPs” section to download the SGI-575 platform FVP installer.

Follow the instructions of the installer and setup the FVP. The installer, by default, selects the home directory to install the FVP. To opt for different directory than the one selected by the installer, provide an absolute path to that directory when prompted for during the FVP installation process.
