13.4.1.3. Driver Examples

The figure below demonstrates writing to a Mailbox. For this example, assume that the hardware system has two processors communicating via Mailboxes. The system includes two Mailbox cores, which provides two-way communication between the processors.

Sender Processor Using Mailbox to Send a Message.

#include <stdio.h>
#include "altera_avalon_mailbox_simple.h"
#include "altera_avalon_mailbox_simple_regs.h"
#include "system.h"

/* example callback function from users*/
void tx_cb (void* report, int status) {  
	if (!status) {    
	   printf (“Transfer done”);  
	} else {    
	   printf (“error in transfer”);  
	}

int main_sender()
{
alt_u32 message[2] = {0x00001111, 0xaa55aa55};
int timeout     = 50000;
alt_u32 status;
alt_avalon_mailbox_simple_dev* mailbox_sender; 

/* Open mailbox on sender processor */
mailbox_sender = alt_avalon_mailbox_open("/dev/mailbox_simple_0", tx_cb, NULL);   

	if (!mailbox_sender){        
		printf ("FAIL: Unable to open mailbox_simple");         
		return 1;    
		} 

	/* Send a message to the other processor using interrupt */
	altera_avalon_mailbox_send (mailbox_sender, message, 0, ISR);

	/* Using polling method to send a message, with infinite timeout */  
		timeout = 0;  
		status = altera_avalon_mailbox_send (mailbox_sender, message, timeout, POLL);

		if (status) {    
			printf (“error in transfer”);  
		} else {    
			printf (“Transfer done”);  
		}

	/* Closing mailbox device and de-registering interrupt handler and callback */  
	altera_avalon_mailbox_close (mailbox_sender);  
	return 0;
	}

Receiver Processor Waiting for Message.

#include <stdio.h>
#include "altera_avalon_mailbox_simple.h"
#include "altera_avalon_mailbox_simple_regs.h"
#include "system.h"

void rx_cb (void* message) {  
	/* Get message read from mailbox */  
	alt_u32* data = alt_u32* message;  
	if (message!= NULL) {    
		printf (“Message received”);  
	} else {    
	  printf (“Incomplete receive”);  
	}

int main_receiver()
{
alt_u32* message[2];
int timeout     = 50000;
alt_avalon_mailbox_simple_dev* mailbox_rcv;

	/* This example is running on receiver processor */  
	mailbox_rcv = alt_avalon_mailbox_open("/dev/mailbox_simple_1", NULL, rx_cb);  
	if (!mailbox_rcv){    
		printf ("FAIL: Unable to open mailbox_simple");    
		return 1;  
	} 

	/* For interrupt disable system */  
	altera_avalon_mailbox_retrieve_poll (mailbox_rcv,message, timeout)  
	
	if (message == NULL)
	printf (“Receive Error”); 
	else 
	printf (“Message received with Command 0x%x and Message 0x%x\n”, message[0], message[1]);  
	

altera_avalon_mailbox_close (mailbox_rcv);
return 0;
}
