Hi,  
I see that a port for ARM Cortex A53 is available for:  
Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC (64-bit ARM Cortex-A53)  
We currently have already ported FreeROTS on Zynq 7000 (ARM Cortex A9), so I have some experience with that. Using C++.

Question: How similar or different would it be to port FreeRTOS on the same processor (One of the quad core ARM Cortex A53) but on an i.MX8?  
It is one of the criteria for selecting our micro controller.

Please advise. Thank you.
