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.
