Sekhar,

At this point we have some examples/tests that exercise the davinci remoteproc 
framework using a socket layer that exists only in personal repos.  Ohad 
created rpmsg-based socket support for the kernel using vrings, and along with 
SYS/BIOS-based content developed by my TI team and others, it allows a 
SysLink-like MessageQ implementation to be used between the DSP and Linux user 
apps.  These apps consist of a Linux app communicating with the DSP firmware 
file loaded by remoteproc.  They rely on the rpmsg-based socket support, so 
they're of no use without that.

What I can do, for now, is provide a simple DSP firmware file that prints a 
"Hello, world" to a SYS/BIOS trace buffer that is known to remoteproc, and the 
remoteproc driver can be used to display the trace buffer contents through 
debugfs.  However, this won't exercise the run-time component of davinci 
remoteproc (which is really just interrupt support between the DSP and ARM).  I 
will do this and upload the firmware file and a README to my GitHub repo.  I 
will provide just the firmware binary since the capability to build it from 
source relies on SYS/BIOS, TI IPC, and XDC packages/installations.

Regards,

- Rob
