Overview

This application demonstrates how to use OpenAMP for communication between Zephyr and Linux, where both sides utilize the OpenAMP library.

On the Linux side, the application uses the OpenAMP library provided by meta-openamp, ensuring a consistent and standardized approach to inter-core communication.

Building the application

Zephyr

Build command for RZ/G3S-SMARC

west build -b rzg3s_smarc/r9a08g045s33gbg/cm33 samples/boards/renesas/openamp_linux_zephyr

Build command for RZ/V2L-SMARC

west build -b rzv2l_smarc/r9a07g054l23gbg/cm33 samples/boards/renesas/openamp_linux_zephyr

Running the sample

Linux setup

For RZ/G3S-SMARC

The sample currently supports the Linux RZ/G Multi-OS Package v3.0.0. The build steps for Renesas Multi-OS Package are described below.

  1. Follow the procedures in ‘’3.2 Integration of Multi-OS Package related stuff’’ of Quick Start Guide for RZ/G3S Multi-OS Package [1] without initiating the build process.

  2. For RZ/G3S, add PLAT_M33_BOOT_SUPPORT=1 by following this guide: RZ/G3S SMARC Evaluation Board Kit [2]

  3. Insert the highlighted lines of code into the following file: meta-rz-features/meta-rz-multi-os/meta-rzg3s/recipes-example/rpmsg-sample/files/platform_info.c

    if (ret) {
LPRINTF("failed rpmsg_init_vdev");
goto err;
}
/* RPMsg virtio enables callback for avail flags */
ret = virtqueue_enable_cb(rpmsg_vdev->rvq);
if (ret) {
   LPRINTF("Failed release availability flags");
   goto err;
}
#ifndef __linux__ /* uC3 */
start_ipi_task(rproc);
#endif
return rpmsg_virtio_get_rpmsg_device(rpmsg_vdev);

  4. Start the build.

  5. For deploying bootloader files, Linux kernel image, device tree and rootfs, please refer to: SMARC EVK of RZ/G3S Linux Start-up Guide [3]

For RZ/V2L-SMARC

The sample currently supports the Linux RZ/V Multi-OS Package v3.1.1. The build steps for Renesas Multi-OS Package are described below.

  1. Follow the steps (1) and (2) from the ‘’Flashing’’ section of RZ/V2L SMARC Evaluation Board Kit [4]

  2. Insert the highlighted lines of code into the following file: meta-rz-features/meta-rz-multi-os/meta-rzv2l/recipes-example/rpmsg-sample/files/platform_info.c

    if (ret) {
LPRINTF("failed rpmsg_init_vdev");
goto err;
}
/* RPMsg virtio enables callback for avail flags */
ret = virtqueue_enable_cb(rpmsg_vdev->rvq);
if (ret) {
   LPRINTF("Failed release availability flags");
   goto err;
}
#ifndef __linux__ /* uC3 */
start_ipi_task(rproc);
#endif
return rpmsg_virtio_get_rpmsg_device(rpmsg_vdev);

  3. Start the build.

4. For deploying bootloader files, Linux kernel image, device tree and rootfs, follow the steps (4) to (8) from the ‘’Flashing’’ section of RZ/V2L SMARC Evaluation Board Kit [4]

Zephyr setup

  1. Flash the sample to the board by following the ‘’Flashing’’ instructions for your board.

  2. Open a serial terminal (minicom, putty, etc.) and connect to the board with the following settings:

    • Speed: 115200

    • Data: 8 bits

    • Parity: None

    • Stop bits: 1

Linux console

  1. Open a Linux shell (minicom, ssh, etc.) and login as root:

    smarc-<device> login: root

  2. Run the following command:

    root@smarc-<device>:~# rpmsg_sample_client 0 0

  3. The following output should appear:

    root@smarc-<device>:~# rpmsg_sample_client 0 0
