Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] dt-bindings: mailbox: Add ASPEED AST2700 series SoC
Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2025 15:34:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250625073417.2395037-2-jammy_huang@aspeedtech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250625073417.2395037-1-jammy_huang@aspeedtech.com>
Introduce the mailbox module for AST27XX series SoC, which is responsible
for interchanging messages between asymmetric processors.

+title: ASPEED AST2700 mailbox controller
+
+maintainers:
+ - Jammy Huang <jammy_huang@aspeedtech.com>
+
+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.
+
