LSM/DPM Configuration Page

Use this page to select the Lock-Step Mode (LSM) and Decoupled Parallel Mode (DPM) configuration. This is predetermined by a bit in the shadow flash and cannot be changed at runtime.

Option Description
Lock-Step Mode (LSM) Intended for safety critical systems that require redundancy.
Decoupled Parallel Mode (DPM) Intended to increase performances that can be estimated in first approximation as about 1.6x the performance of the LS mode.
Note: Many devices in the 55xx/56xx family are multicore devices (multiple e200 and eTPU cores). The debugger shall provide multicore debugging for the 55xx/56xx devices having multicore built in. This extends to both lock-step mode (LS mode or LSM) as well to Decoupled Parallel Mode (DP mode or DPM).
