i.MX8MP - Shared Memory for Core M7 and Core A53

I need to allocate a memory area that can be accessed by both the Core M7 and the Core A53. This memory area is necessary for the processors to communicate with each other.

That is, from Linux, I should be able to access a certain memory area using mmap (or something similar) to read data. And from the Cortex M7, I should be able to access the same memory area to write data.

Hello,

Yes This is possible, please see the current example in yocto BSP where you have the M4 and shared memory with A53 cores.
