.SH NAME
vcmailbox \- the VideoCore mailbox property interface
.
.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.
The mailbox can be used by the ARM on the Raspberry Pi to communicate with the
VideoCore processor.
From the command line, the
.BR vcmailbox (1)
can be used for this purpose.
The mailbox operates a simple request / response protocol:
.
.IP \(bu 3
The response overwrites the request.
.RS
.IP \(bu 3
The callee is not allowed to return a different buffer address, this allows the
caller to make independent asynchronous requests.
.RE
.
.IP \(bu
The buffer itself is 16-byte aligned as only the upper 28 bits of the address
can be passed via the mailbox.
.
.IP \(bu
All u64/u32/u16 values are in host CPU endian order.
.
.IP \(bu
Unknown tags are ignored (the response bit will not be set).
.
.IP \(bu
Response may include unsolicited tags.
.
.IP \(bu
Response tag lengths may be longer than expected if additional information is
provided in a future format.
.RS
.IP \(bu 3
The response is truncated to the provided buffer length.
.IP \(bu
Incompatible changes require a new tag so that where the buffer is the size
required by a previous version the truncated part should be readable as per the
previous version.
.IP \(bu
Response length indicates the desired length even when it is longer than the
buffer size filled.
.IP \(bu
Tag value length can be used to infer the version of the request/response.
.RE
.
.IP \(bu
Tags should be processed in order except where an interface requires multiple
tags for a single operation (like the frame buffer).
.
.
.SS Mailbox messages
.
.IP \(bu 3
The mailbox interface has 28 bits (MSB) available for the value and 4 bits
(LSB) for the channel.
.RS
.IP \(bu 3
Request message: 28 bits (MSB) buffer address
.IP \(bu
Response message: 28 bits (MSB) buffer address
.RE
.
.IP \(bu
Channels 8 and 9 are used.
.RS
.IP \(bu 3
Channel 8: Request from ARM for response by VC
.IP \(bu
Channel 9: Request from VC for response by ARM (none currently defined)

Calls the function at given (bus) address and with arguments given. E.g.
r0 = fn(r0, r1, r2, r3, r4, r5);
It blocks until call completes. The (GPU) instruction cache is implicitly flushed.
Setting the lsb of function pointer address will suppress the instruction cache flush if you know the buffer hasn't changed since last execution.

This reads the specified EDID block from attached HDMI/DVI device.
There will always be at least one block of 128 bytes, but there may be additional blocks. You should keep requesting blocks (starting from 0) until the status returned is non-zero.

.SH FRAME BUFFER TAGS
.
.IP \(bu 3
All tags in the request are processed in one operation.
.IP \(bu
It is not valid to mix Test tags with Get/Set tags in the same operation and no tags will be returned.
.IP \(bu
Get tags will be processed after all Set tags.
.IP \(bu
If an allocate buffer tag is omitted when setting parameters, then no change occurs unless it can be accommodated without changing the buffer base or size.
.IP \(bu
When an allocate buffer response is returned, the old buffer area (if the base or size has changed) is implicitly freed.
.
.PP
For example:
.
.IP 1. 3
The current values/defaults are loaded into a temporary struct
.
.IP 2.
The tags are used to overwrite some or all of the values
.
.IP 3.
Validation of Test/Set tags occurs
.
.IP 4.
The Set changes are applied and responses based on the requested Get/Test/Set tags are written to the buffer
.
Duplicating the same tag in one request/response is prohibited. The expected result is either an error or implementation specified undefined behaviour (such as only using the last instance of the tag).
