First, we are not abandoning DSPLINK. We have many users of this, even though it is out-of-tree, and we will continue to support it. That said, we do intend to make this new design the basis for DSPLINK-like functionality. It's designed to be done "the right way" for Linux (and we are looking for feedback to make it better). It is also designed to be more scalable and extensible in userspace. With a solid kernel foundation, we can provide lots of functionality in userspace, or users can implement their own custom solutions. One of the key things to do is map our existing DSPLINK APIs, like MessageQ, to the new rpmsg transport.
Sounds all good. What about the PRUSS code? Does that fit into the new model as well? Arnd
