title: NXP i.MX Messaging Unit (MU)

description: |
  The Messaging Unit module enables two processors within the SoC to
  communicate and coordinate by passing messages (e.g. data, status
  and control) through the MU interface. The MU also provides the ability
  for one processor to signal the other processor using interrupts.

  Because the MU manages the messaging between processors, the MU uses
  different clocks (from each side of the different peripheral buses).
  Therefore, the MU must synchronize the accesses from one side to the
  other. The MU accomplishes synchronization using two sets of matching
  registers (Processor A-facing, Processor B-facing).

      This MU support 4 type of unidirectional channels, each type
      has 4 channels. A total of 16 channels. Following types are
      supported:
      0 - TX channel with 32bit transmit register and IRQ transmit
          acknowledgment support.
      1 - RX channel with 32bit receive register and IRQ support
      2 - TX doorbell channel. Without own register and no ACK support.
      3 - RX doorbell channel.
