SubjectRe: [PATCH v9 00/11] Restructure the rpmsg_char driver and introduce rpmsg_ctrl driver
From
Hi Arnaud,

thanks for working on this! I'm currently testing/using this patch
series on my imx7d project because it adds the capability that the
remote processor can register it's endpoints dynamically (as mentioned
in the objectives).

After a few tests, debugging, and checking the openamp specification [1]
I think that you missed the second ns_announcement that should be sent
from linux master to the slave after it created the channel/endpoint.
Without this second announcement the remote processor is not able to
send messages to the linux master because it doesn't know the
destination address until it receives a message from the linux master.

Cheers,
Philipp
