Inter-Processor Communication (IPC)

This section discusses what IPC is, when Linux IPC is needed, how to get started with TI’s IPC examples, and how to modify TI’s IPC examples for your usecase.

The TI IPC code can be found in Processor SDK Linux & MCU+ SDK, from https://www.ti.com/tool/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM62A.

Note

You should use the same version of the MCU+ Processor SDK and the Linux Processor SDK. In the past, the Linux SDK has sometimes been released before the MCU+ SDK; so far, the new Linux SDK has continued to work with the previous version of the MCU+ SDK. However, we cannot guarantee that different versions of the Linux and MCU+ SDKs will always work together.

IPC Basics

This section discusses what IPC is, and what IPC software TI provides in the Linux and MCU+ SDKs.

When does an MCU+ application need Linux RPMsg?

Linux RPMsg can be used to communicate with Linux, as well as enabling features like graceful shutdown.

Getting started with MCU+ to MCU+ IPC examples

This section provides links for getting started with the MCU+ IPC examples.

Getting started with IPC Linux examples

This section discusses how to get started with the RPMsg IPC examples between Linux and an MCU+ core.

How to modify the IPC RPMsg examples

This section discusses how to modify the IPC RPMsg examples to fit your usecase.
