Hi, Just want to confirm the upper limit of core number that the current release 6.1.3 can support in terms of ARMv8 version. I noticed the marco TX_THREAD_SMP_MAX_CORES and TX_THREAD_SMP_CORE_MASK in code base but not sure if they are the only two places need to be adjusted to accommodate 8 cores.
thanks in advance for your support.

Hi @duan allen yes, I believe those are the only two adjustments you need to make. ThreadX should have no problem supporting 8 cores. We have only tested on 4 cores because we don't have any simulators or hardware with 8 cores. Please let us know your results here, thanks!
Scott, my pleasure, will let you konw. Some minor changes seem needed.
hi Scott, I just simply modified the core num and corresponding max value, my 8 core platform is up and running. Some extra change were made to adapt my core sequence which does not start from core 0.
Great to hear you're up and running! Thanks for letting us know. If you find any issues with the code or have any questions about it, feel free to ask on github in the issues section: https://github.com/azure-rtos/threadx/issues
Good luck on your project!
