1. Mailbox Client with Avalon® Streaming Interface Intel® FPGA IP Overview

Updated for:
Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Suite 23.2
IP Version 1.0.3
The Mailbox Client with Avalon® Streaming Interface Intel® FPGA IP provides a communication channel between your custom logic and the secure device manager (SDM). You can use the Mailbox Client with Avalon® Streaming Interface Intel® FPGA IP to send command packets and receive response packets from SDM peripheral modules. The Mailbox Client with Avalon® Streaming Interface Intel® FPGA IP defines functions that the SDM runs.

Your custom logic can use this communication channel to receive information and access flash memory from only the following peripheral modules:

  • The Chip ID
  • The Temperature Sensor
  • The Voltage Sensor
  • Quad serial peripheral interface (SPI) flash memory
