Hi,

Is there an inter-process communication functionality on Zephyr running on
Linux for Qemu? 
I have an application on Zephyr that gets data from an external source.
However, since I do not have the actual device, I will be emulating this
on Qemu. So I will have 2 applications, one solely for generating the
output. 
However, how can these two applications communicate? I know this can be
done in C using named pipes. Is it possible to do that with Zephyr as
well?

We use QEMU_EXTRA_FLAGS for providing this parameter for QEMU, for
example in bluetooth we may run btproxy on Linux host and
QEMU_EXTRA_FLAGS like following:

QEMU_EXTRA_FLAGS = -serial unix:/tmp/bt-server-bredr
