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.

Building the application for nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp
*****************************************************

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/subsys/ipc/ipc_service
   :board: nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp
   :goals: debug

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:
