5.7.1.6. Avalon-MM Mailbox Registers

A processor local to the interconnect fabric typically requires write access to a set of Avalon-MM to PCI Express Mailbox registers and read-only access to a set of PCI Express to Avalon-MM Mailbox registers. Eight mailbox registers are available.

The Avalon-MM to PCI Express Mailbox registers are writable at the addresses shown in the following table. When the Avalon-MM processor writes to one of these registers the corresponding bit in the Avalon-MM to PCI Express Interrupt Status register is set to 1.

The PCI Express to Avalon-MM Mailbox registers are read-only at the addresses shown in the following table. The Avalon-MM processor reads these registers when the corresponding bit in the PCI Express to Avalon-MM Interrupt Status register is set to 1.
