sorry for delay. I was working on different issue.
I have solved this issue by using ram address ranges 0x0 - 0x10000000.

I am using CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET=0x10000000 in linux which give me free space for rtos.

Here is how it is achieve
	ret = dma_declare_coherent_memory(&zynq_freertos.dev, 0,
				0, 0x10000000, DMA_MEMORY_MAP);

which is fully compatible with remoteproc.
I have also got trace buffer to work - there were problem with caches on cpu with rtos.

I still have the problem to reset cpu1 but we are investigating how to do so. Maybe in future
we will add new message which jumps back to bootloader code if not possible to do it throuth any


I have looked at omap remoteproc and there is communication between cocpu through omap mbox
and IRQs. I am working on similar communication for testing
and I would like to know how vrings fit to this. Do you have any example of using it?


struct resource __resource resources[] = {
     { TYPE_CARVEOUT, 0, TEXT_BASE + 0,    0, 0, 0, SZ_1M, 0, 0,0,0,0,"IPU_MEM_TEXT"},
     { TYPE_VIRTIO_DEV,0, TEXT_BASE + 0,   0, 0, 0, SZ_1M, VIRTIO_ID_RPMSG,0,0,0,0,"vdev:rpmsg"},

     { TYPE_VRING, 0, TEXT_BASE + 0x20000, 0, 0, 0, VQ0_SIZE,0,0,0,0,0,"vring:sysm3->mpu"},
     { TYPE_VRING, 1, TEXT_BASE + 0x30000, 0, 0, 0, VQ1_SIZE,0,0,0,0,0,"vring:mpu->sysm3"},
     { TYPE_TRACE, 0, TEXT_BASE + 0x40000, 0, 0, 0, 0x8000, 0,0,0,0,0,"trace:sysm3"},
};

Below is my full bootup log.

Thanks,
Michal
