Setting up host software to interact with firmware in xtensa xplorer

Hi all,

I have implemented the firmware simulator for a customized system configuration. Since it's a message queue based firmware, I'm trying to set up a standalone host software to send/process commands to interact with the firmware simulator. Is there a way to do that within xplorer?

PS. I thought of setting up a multiprocessor system: using one as the "host processor" and the other one as the target firmware processor, but it seems that only certain configurations are compatible with multiprocessor project. I'm using a customized configuration, so seems to be a dead end.

PPS. I have implemented something similar in visual studio, it's basically a multithreading program that starts with the host thread, then firmware thread, then those two threads can interact with each other. But since visual studio simulator cannot provide meaningful profiling result, I'm searching for a similar solution in xplorer.
