I voiced all these concerns and more months ago and apparently my concerns fell on deaf ears.
remoteproc is a really cool concept. But it's not meant for this board, despite people trying to use a shoehorn to get the beaglebone 'horned in'. We already have uio_pruss, and it has worked great for how many years now ? *AND* how does remoteproc make things better in comparison to uio_pruss ? As far as I can see, it doesn't. It does not make things any easier, and its all the things TJF mentions above, and more( in the negative ). Where remoteproc *would* shine, is on a system without additional on die computational cores( IPU, PRU, DSP, etc ), but a multi-core applications processor. So that one core can run an OS, while the other runs bare metal. *THAT* is the vision I see for remoteproc.
