you are right, but in this case i need to cast the buff to suppress compilation
warning on const and I don't know if all compilers will accept this...
 
pbuf = (u8 *)buf;
ret = rpmsg_trysendto(cport->d_ept, pbuf, msg_size, cport->data_dst);

Seems i misunderstood the usage of the xmit buffer, need to have look in.

i answered in Joe's mail for this point
