IPC Service
###########
Overview
********
IPC Service is an abstraction layer.
It needs the corresponding backend registered for proper operation.
You can use any IPC mechanism as a backend.
In this sample, it is a multiple instance of RPMsg.
This sample demonstrates how to integrate IPC Service with Zephyr.

Open a serial terminal (for example Minicom or PuTTY) and connect the board with the
following settings:
- Speed: 115200
- Data: 8 bits
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
When you reset the development kit, the following messages (one for master and one for remote) will appear on the corresponding serial ports:
.. code-block:: console

Open a serial terminal (for example Minicom or PuTTY) and connect to the board
with the following settings on both serial ports:
- Speed: 115200
- Data: 8 bits
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
When you reset the development kit after having flashed both the application
and network core images, the following messages (one for master and one for
remote) will appear on the corresponding serial ports:
