                               SYS/BIOS RPMSG

This tree contains alternative IPC transports and Notify mechanisms.

It also contains a .bin firmware generator tool in utils, for the purpose
of generating a simple binary file that gets loaded to a core through the
Android/Linux "SysLink 3.0" firmware loader.  The format of the .bin firmware
file is proprietary.

CLONE
    o From Linux workstation, in directory where cloned tree will reside:

        /* Clone the 'sysbios-rpmsg' repository */
        git clone git://git.omapzoom.org/repo/sysbios-rpmsg.git (recommended)
                                   - or -
        git clone http://git.omapzoom.org/repo/sysbios-rpmsg.git

        /* Go into the newly cloned repository */
        cd sysbios-rpmsg

        /* Switch to the latest branch */
        git checkout -b mymaster remotes/origin/master

BUILD (Linux Environment)
    1) Export the proper environment variables to point to your Code Generation
       Tools installation paths (if different from the default)
       Eg:
           export TMS470CGTOOLPATH=/data/omapts/linux/dsp-tc/cgtarm-4.9.0
           export C6000CGTOOLPATH=/data/omapts/linux/dsp-tc/cgt6x-7.2.0

    2) Edit Makefile to point the REPO variable to the correct local installation
       path (if different from the default installation path). All the above
       tools are expected to be installed in the same path.
       Eg:
          REPO          = /data/omapts/linux/dsp-tc

    3) Edit Makefile so that the following variables are pointing to the correct
       tools versions
       - BIOSPRODVER
       - IPCPRODVER
       - XDCROOTVER

    4) From the top-level sysbios-rpmsg directory, type in 'make' to build the
       entire tree plus sample applications

    5) A default firmware binary, ducati-m3.bin is generated in the src/utils
       directory, using two of the sample baseimages in Gollum tree.

CLEAN (Linux Environment)
    1) Type 'make clean' to clean the generated libraries and executables

    2) The tree can be restored to a very clean state by using the following
       commands from the sysbios-rpmsg root
              rm src/.gitignore
              rm .gitignore (optional)
              git clean -df
              git reset --hard
