Using the Cortex-M4 MCU on the i.MX6 SoloX from Linux

[dddd]

Hi,

    I'm trying to load the M4 binary after Linux boot, Linux bash doesn't respond when using RPMSG pingpong examples.

  

   I made the following changes

diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-imx/src.c b/arch/arm/mach-imx/src.c
index c53b6da411b9..9859751b5109 100644
--- a/arch/arm/mach-imx/src.c
+++ b/arch/arm/mach-imx/src.c
@@ -194,6 +194,7 @@ void __init imx_src_init(void)
 		m4_is_enabled = true;
 	else
 		m4_is_enabled = false;
+	m4_is_enabled = true;
 
 	val &= ~(1 << BP_SRC_SCR_WARM_RESET_ENABLE);
 	writel_relaxed(val, src_base + SRC_SCR);

I tried to start the M4 binary in u-boot and everything worked as expected. Do I need to make any changes to the way I load the M4 binary using m4fwloader?

yocto version

repo init -u git://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-manifest.git -b imx-linux-zeus -m imx-5.4.24-2.1.0.xml

Hi dddd
