Description:
|
Every rpmsg device is a communication channel with a remote
|
processor. Channels are identified with a (textual) name,
|
which is maximum 32 bytes long (defined as RPMSG_NAME_SIZE in
|
rpmsg.h).
|
|
This sysfs entry contains the name of this channel.

Description:
|
Every rpmsg device is a communication channel with a remote
|
processor. Channels have a local ("source") rpmsg address,
|
and remote ("destination") rpmsg address. When an entity
|
starts listening on one end of a channel, it assigns it with
|
a unique rpmsg address (a 32 bits integer). This way when
|
inbound messages arrive to this address, the rpmsg core
|
dispatches them to the listening entity (a kernel driver).
|
|
This sysfs entry contains the src (local) rpmsg address
|
of this channel. If it contains 0xffffffff, then an address
|
wasn't assigned (can happen if no driver exists for this
|
channel).

remote processor. This make it a local rpmsg server,

and it is listening for inbound messages that may be sent
|
from any remote rpmsg client; it is not bound to a single

remote entity).

Description:
|
Every rpmsg device is a communication channel with a remote
|
processor. Channels are identified by a textual name (see
|
/sys/bus/rpmsg/devices/.../name above) and have a local
|
("source") rpmsg address, and remote ("destination") rpmsg
|
address.
|
|
A channel is first created when an entity, whether local
|
or remote, starts listening on it for messages (and is thus
|
called an rpmsg server).
|
|
When that happens, a "name service" announcement is sent
|
to the other processor, in order to let it know about the
|
creation of the channel (this way remote clients know they
|
can start sending messages).
|
|
This sysfs entry tells us whether the channel is a local
|
server channel that is announced (values are either
|
true or false).

("source") rpmsg address, and remote ("destination") rpmsg

|
|
The listening entity (or client) which communicates with a
|
remote processor is referred as rpmsg driver. The rpmsg device
|
and rpmsg driver are matched based on rpmsg device name and
|
rpmsg driver ID table.
|
|
This sysfs entry allows the rpmsg driver for a rpmsg device
|
to be specified which will override standard OF, ID table
|
and name matching.
