As I mentioned before, the only i.MX-specific part is the transport protocol over the RPMSG bus. 
In this v5 patches, we’ve included detailed documentation for the protocol in a separate file. Any 
platform that follows the same protocol should work right out of the box. 

If you spot anything that could be improved, please let me know!
