RPMsg service
Overview
RPMsg Service is an abstraction created over OpenAMP that makes initialization and endpoints creation process easier. This application demonstrates how to use RPMsg Service in Zephyr. It is designed to demonstrate how to integrate RPMsg Service with Zephyr both from a build perspective and code. Note that the remote and primary image core images can be flashed independently, but sysbuild must be used in order to flash them in one step.

Open a serial terminal (minicom, putty, etc.) and connect the board with the following settings:
Speed: 115200
Data: 8 bits
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Reset the board and the following message will appear on the corresponding serial port, one is master another is remote:

Open a serial terminal (for example Minicom or PuTTY) and connect to the board with the following settings on both serial ports:
Speed: 115200
Data: 8 bits
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
When you reset the development kit after having flashed both the application and network core images, the following messages (one for master and one for remote) will appear on the corresponding serial ports:
