Hi Gabriel,

I think this explanation is a little misleading - if you run unmodified 
versions of Android & some RTOS, they will fight for the imx6 interrupt 
controller, power management and clocks. As far as I know, imx6 is not 
appropriate for AMP (asymmetric multi-processing) because it doesn't 
support virtualization extensions.

Kind regards,
Nikolay
