Hi Mathieu,

No, there is no constraint on memory.

We want the Cortex A core to communicate with the HiFi4 DSP.
The Cortex A is in charge of starting the DSP and loading the firmware 
in HiFi4's memory.
When using rpmsg for IPC, the Cortex A needs to find the resource table 
(defined in the DSP linker script) and this is done using 
.find_loaded_rsc_table callback.

For the DT, we are using a (not upstream) device tree where we have the 
reserved-memory for dsp_vdev0vring0, dsp_vdev0vring1 and dsp_vdev0buffer.
