ESP32 Soft-IPM example
######################
Overview
********
This simple example can be used with multicore ESP32 Soc, and demonstrates
the software intercore messaging mechanism to be used in AMP applications.
ESP32 has two CPU named APP and PRO, in this simple example PRO send a
message to the APP using the IPM driver, and waits for the APP response
message and prints its contents on console.
ESP32 intercore messaging has up two four channels, the 0 and 1 are
reserved for BT and WIFI messages, and channels 2 and 3 is free to
any application, each channel supports up to 64 bytes of data per
message, so high level protocol is responsible to fragment larger
messages in chunks of 64bytes.
Building and Running the Zephyr Code
************************************
The sample requires two build commands to run, for that reason a pre built
version of esp32_net, the APP cpu side firmware is already provided for quick
tests just type on the console:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/drivers/ipm/ipm_esp32
:board: esp32
:goals: build flash
:compact:
The other option is building from scratch just involve a single extra build command
and file moving, first of all you need to build the esp32_net firmware as follows:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/drivers/ipm/ipm_esp32/ipm_esp32_net
:board: esp32_net
:goals: build
:compact:
Copy output file build/zephyr/esp32_net_firmware.c to samples/drivers/ipm/ipm_esp32/src,
then build the main project and flash as stated earlier, and you would see the following output:
.. code-block:: console
