Yeah that link John gave out seems good. I've been meaning to follow it
myself for a couple weeks now. But I've been doing other things waiting for
remoteproc / rpmsg to settle down.

I really like the idea of remoteproc / rpmsg, it seems very intuitive /
natural.

Also Micka, there is *some* github project that uses starterware too . . .
demonstrating how to use starterware inside a ti_cgt C compiler project . .
. I do not remember which it is, so may not be able to find a link to it .
. .
