More AMP on the i.MX8M Mini with Rpmsg

In a recent post, I described the basics to execute code on the Cortex M4 micro controller inside the i.MX8M Mini SoC. However there was no communication going on between Linux on the Cortex A cores and the application running on the M4. In this post, I will look at an example using the remoteproc and rpmsg (Remote Processor Messaging) frameworks for communication between the processors. The remoteproc subsystem implements basic house keeping for co-processors in Linux and the rpmsg framework implements the actual data channels.
