[okl4-developer] does ig_serial support more than one client?

[Abi Nourai]

Hi Hugues,

The current public release (3.0) does not come with an example (in the  
'sdk/examples' sense) that includes 2 linux cells.

However, this does mean at all that you cannot create a system with  
2xlinux cells.  What's involved very much depends on the requirements  
of your system - especially how devices need to be shared.

Unlike in the enterprise space, there is no typical way of running  
2xlinux.  The motivation for adopting 2xlinux cells (when considering  
real world use cases) significantly influences the soln architecture.

One use case is driven by pure BoM reduction in consolidating  
physically different systems onto a single device.  In this case each  
linux environment is effectively independent from each other.  You can  
get this up and running if you are comfortable configuring the  
weaver.xml manually, and building the linux environments (you'll  
probably want to link the oklinux's at non-overlapping addresses).

Other use cases lean towards more sophisticated soln architectures,  
that involve device sharing, and non-trivial resource partitioning in  
general.  I recall community members in the past having success in  
getting systems up and running.

Of course, as Ben said, we'll provide some off-the-shelf examples in  
upcoming public releases.  These can be treated as a reference.  We  
don't have a locked in date tho.
