+- **Character Driver**: Provides userspace access to control the remote

+- **ELF Utility**: Offers functions for handling ELF files and managing

+- **Remoteproc Core**: Manages firmware downloads and recovery actions

+- **Coredump**: Provides facilities for coredumping and tracing from
+ the remote processor in the event of a crash.
+- **Userspace Interaction**: Uses sysfs and debugfs to manage the
+ lifecycle and status of the remote processor.
+- **Virtio Support**: Facilitates interaction with the virtio and

Some of the above is either inaccurate or incomplete. It would be fairly time consuming for me to point out where the problems are, especially since I don't see a lot of value in adding this section. > + > User API > ======== > > -- > 2.39.3 (Apple Git-146) >
