.. zephyr:code-sample:: mbox_data
:name: MBOX Data
:relevant-api: mbox_interface
Perform inter-processor mailbox communication using the MBOX API with data.
Overview
********
This sample demonstrates how to use the :ref:`MBOX API <mbox_api>` in data transfer mode.
It can be used only with mbox driver which supports data transfer mode.
Sample will ping-pong up to 4 bytes of data between two cores via two mbox channels.
After each core receives data, it increments it by one and sends it back to other core.
Building and Running
********************
The sample can be built and executed on boards supporting MBOX with data transfer mode.
Building the application for mimxrt1160_evk_cm7

Sample Output
=============
Open a serial terminal (minicom, putty, etc.) and connect the board with the
following settings:
- Speed: 115200
- Data: 8 bits
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
Reset the board and the following message will appear on the corresponding
serial port, one is the main core another is the remote core:
