Can i.MX6SX corter-M4 treat GPU instead of cortex-A9?

Hi device experts,

i.MX6SX configured shared bus topology and several peripherals were shared with Cortex-A9 and Cortex-M4.
So I just want to know it is theoretically possible to treat GPU with Cortex-M4.

I checked memory map and IRQ were separated for A9 and M4 such as $1800-0000,42 vs $4800-0000,10.
I also checked bus connections but it was too complicated for me.
     Please see p14 of "An Introduction to Heterogeneous Multiprocessing" document;
     https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-104397
     https://community.freescale.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/104397-102-2-23247/AMF-SHB-T1036.pd...

Does anybody know is it possible or not?

Thanks.

Hi torus1000

yes Cortex-M4 can access GPU as shown in

Table 2-2. CM4 memory map    IMX6SXSRM
