IPM on NXP LPC

Overview

Some NXP microcontrollers from LPC family are dual-core, this sample application uses a mailbox to send messages from one processor core to the other.

This sample applies to the following boards:

NXP LPCXPRESSO54114, two core processors (Cortex-M4F and Cortex-M0+)
NXP LPCXPRESSO55S69, two core processors (dual Cortex-M33)

Requirements

NXP LPCXPRESSO54114 board
NXP LPCXPRESSO55S69 board

Building the application for lpcxpresso54114/lpc54114/m4

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b lpcxpresso54114/lpc54114/m4 --sysbuild samples/drivers/ipm/ipm_mcux
west debug

Building the application for lpcxpresso55s69/lpc55s69/cpu0

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b lpcxpresso55s69/lpc55s69/cpu0 --sysbuild samples/drivers/ipm/ipm_mcux
west debug

Running

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:
