The APM X-Gene SLIMpro mailbox is used to communicate messages between
the ARM64 processors and the Cortex M3 (dubbed SLIMpro). It uses a simple
interrupt based door bell mechanism and can exchange simple messages using the
internal registers.
There are total of 8 interrupts in this mailbox. Each used for an individual
door bell (or mailbox channel).
Required properties:
- compatible: Should be as "apm,xgene-slimpro-mbox".
- reg: Contains the mailbox register address range.
- interrupts: 8 interrupts must be from 0 to 7, interrupt 0 define the
the interrupt for mailbox channel 0 and interrupt 1 for
mailbox channel 1 and so likewise for the reminder.
- #mbox-cells: only one to specify the mailbox channel number.
Example:
Mailbox Node:
mailbox: mailbox@10540000 {
compatible = "apm,xgene-slimpro-mbox";
reg = <0x0 0x10540000 0x0 0xa000>;
#mbox-cells = <1>;
interrupts = <0x0 0x0 0x4>,
<0x0 0x1 0x4>,
<0x0 0x2 0x4>,
<0x0 0x3 0x4>,
<0x0 0x4 0x4>,
<0x0 0x5 0x4>,
<0x0 0x6 0x4>,
<0x0 0x7 0x4>,
};
