Client sample is clear because it is probed when services are published.

I see that values but I can't see how rtos should send that messages.

Have checked both vrings - one for rx and one for tx. They are
initialized correctly on addresses I like.

rtos can handle kick from Linux
Linux is able to catch kick from freertos and run rproc_vg_interrupt

 From code I see that in rpmsg_probe function is virtqueue_kick which means sending
kick to rtos. Then rtos can send the message.


Above is condition "if (virtio_has_feature(vdev, VIRTIO_RPMSG_F_NS))" which is failing for me.
Not sure if is correct.

I am still not sure how to propagate that messages from rtos side.
In TI software it is in NameMap.c file which calls MessageQCopy_send function with address 53(which fits).
If I look at that function you copy data to msg->payload, setup data length, dstAddr is 53, srcAddr is don't know yet,
flag is 0, reserverd is 0 then you call VirtQueue_addUsedBuf and kick.

How does look like that structure for vring channels? It is probably mapped any structure. Can you point me which one?
Channel description is rpmsg_channel_info struct.

Thanks,
Michal
