Hi @hfranco.tx,
Are you testing with the imx_rpmsg_pingpong kernel module or the rpmsg_char one? I’m trying to get the latter to work. My kernel version is 5.4.193, just in case.
I’ve tried loading your DTO, but this seems to not start up the RPMsg driver correctly. At the moment I’m using the one you posted here.
Here is the source code I’m testing with for both the A53 and M4:

Maybe you see what I’m doing wrong here. I suspect I’m creating my endpoint incorrectly through the /dev/rpmsg_ctrl0 control device in the A53 core, but I could be completely wrong 
Best regards,
Nick
Though, it’s still strange that the driver wouldn’t work on the older BSP…
