| Each ST Mailbox IP currently consists of 4 instances of 32 channels. Messages | |
| are passed between Application and Remote processors using shared memory. | |
| Controller | |
| ---------- | |
| Required properties: | |
| - compatible : Should be "st,stih407-mailbox" | |
| - reg : Offset and length of the device's register set | |
| - mbox-name : Name of the mailbox | |
| - #mbox-cells: : Must be 2 | |
| <&phandle instance channel direction> | |
| phandle : Label name of controller | |
| instance : Instance number | |
| channel : Channel number | |
| Optional properties | |
| - interrupts : Contains the IRQ line for a Rx mailbox | |
| Example: | |
| mailbox0: mailbox@0 { | |
| compatible = "st,stih407-mailbox"; | |
| reg = <0x08f00000 0x1000>; | |
| interrupts = <GIC_SPI 1 IRQ_TYPE_NONE>; | |
| #mbox-cells = <2>; | |
| mbox-name = "a9"; | |
| }; | |
| Client | |
| ------ | |
| Required properties: | |
| - compatible : Many (See the client docs) | |
| - reg : Shared (between Application and Remote) memory address | |
| - mboxes : Standard property to specify a Mailbox (See ./mailbox.txt) | |
| Cells must match 'mbox-cells' (See Controller docs above) | |
| Optional properties | |
| - mbox-names : Name given to channels seen in the 'mboxes' property. | |
| Example: | |
| mailbox_test { | |
| compatible = "mailbox-test"; | |
| reg = <0x[shared_memory_address], [shared_memory_size]>; | |
| mboxes = <&mailbox2 0 1>, <&mailbox0 2 1>; | |
| mbox-names = "tx", "rx"; | |
| }; |
