About IPC 
|
Inter-Processor Communication (IPC) provides a processor-agnostic API which can be used for communication between processors in a multi-processor environment (inter-core), communication to other threads on same processor (inter-process), and communication to peripherals (inter-device). The API supports message passing, streams, and linked lists.
IPC can be used to communicate with the following:
- Other threads on the same processor
- Threads on other processors running SYS/BIOS
- Threads on other processors running an HLOS (e.g., Linux, QNX, Android)
