| 12 | +description: > |
| 13 | + ASPEED AST2700 has multiple processors that need to communicate with each |
| 14 | + other. The mailbox controller provides a way for these processors to send |
| 15 | + messages to each other. It is a hardware-based inter-processor communication |
| 16 | + mechanism that allows processors to send and receive messages through |
| 17 | + dedicated channels. |
| 18 | +
|
| 19 | + The mailbox's tx/rx are independent, meaning that one processor can send a |
| 20 | + message while another processor is receiving a message simultaneously. |
| 21 | + There are 4 channels available for both tx and rx operations. Each channel |
| 22 | + has a FIFO buffer that can hold messages of a fixed size (32 bytes in this |
| 23 | + case). |
| 24 | +
|
| 25 | + The mailbox controller also supports interrupt generation, allowing |
| 26 | + processors to notify each other when a message is available or when an event |
| 27 | + occurs. |
