IPC (Inter Process Communication) support for communication with DELTA coprocessor firmware using rpmsg kernel framework. Based on 4 services open/set_stream/decode/close and their associated rpmsg messages. The messages structures are duplicated on both host and firmware side and are packed (use only of 32 bits size fields in messages structures to ensure packing). Each service is synchronous; service returns only when firmware acknowledges the associated command message. Due to significant parameters size exchanged from host to copro, parameters are not inserted in rpmsg messages. Instead, parameters are stored in physical memory shared between host and coprocessor. Memory is non-cacheable, so no special operation is required to ensure memory coherency on host and on coprocessor side. Multi-instance support and re-entrance are ensured using host_hdl and copro_hdl in message header exchanged between both host and coprocessor. This avoids to manage tables on both sides to get back the running context of each instance.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
