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
************************************

Build the ESP32 IPM sample code as follows:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/drivers/ipm/ipm_esp32
   :board: esp32
   :goals: build
   :compact:

Sample Output
*************

To check the output of this sample, run ``west espressif monitor`` or any other serial
console program (e.g., minicom, putty, screen, etc).
