+title: ASPEED AST2700 mailbox controller

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