Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to providing audio prompts. In one embodiment, a computing device includes a display, an audio circuit coupled to a speaker, first and second processors, and memory. The memory has first program instructions executable by the first processor to provide, via a first operating system of the computing device, a visual prompt to the display to cause the display to present the visual prompt to a user and send, to the second processor, a request to provide an audio prompt corresponding to the visual prompt via the speaker to the user. The computing device also includes memory having second program instructions executable by the second processor to, in response to the request, provide, via a second operating system, an instruction to the audio circuit to play the audio prompt via the speaker.

Abstract: One embodiment provides for an electronic device comprising a first processor to execute a first operating system and a second processor to execute a second operating system. The second processor a set of input/output devices within the electronic device. The electronic device additionally includes an interconnect to enable communication between the first processor and the second processor. The operating systems include communication modules which establish a bi-directional network connection over the interconnect. Via the bi-directional network connection, the communication modules establish a multi-channel inter-process communication link between a first process on the first processor and a second process on the second processor to enable communication between the processes.
