The Inter-VM communication (IVC) is a communication protocol which is designed for interprocessor communication (IPC) or the communication between the hypervisor and the virtual machine with a guest OS. Message channels are used to communicate between processors. They are backed by DRAM or SRAM, so care must be taken to maintain coherence of data. The IVC library maintains memory-based descriptors for the transmission and reception channels as well as the data coherence of the counter and payload. Clients, such as the driver for the BPMP firmware, can use the library to exchange messages with remote processors.
