imx6sx remoteproc?

[davidpatton]

Has anyone ever used this? Loading from u-boot seems fine during development, but as a final product, remoteproc is much more attractive, I can load the M4 after linux is up, and if the M4 trips, I can restart it, without having to reboot the entire board. There seems to be little, if any, information on remoteproc outside of the OMAP world.Thanks...

Hi,

  Currently, iMX6SX and iMX7D don't support remoteproc.

  Remoteproc need a resource table in M4 image. As iMX6SX and iMX7D SDK don't have new releases, resource table will not be added to their SDK.

  Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. The first link only mentions MCC then later on mention that RPMsg will be supported. The second link uses u-boot to load the second core. The third link mentions remoteproc but never actually describes how to set it up or use it.
