#ifdef MBOXHW_UNIT_TEST


/* This is a mailbox hardware unit test that must be called in a schedulable context
 * This test is very simple, it will send a list of buffers with a counting pattern
 * and the target will invert the data and send the message back
 *
 * the unit test has the following constraints:
 *
 * The target has at least 8 buffers of 256 bytes each. The host will send
 * the following pattern of buffers in rapid succession :
 *
 * 1 buffer - 128 bytes
 * 1 buffer - 256 bytes
 * 1 buffer - 512 bytes
 * 1 buffer - 1024 bytes
 *
 * The host will send the buffers to one mailbox and wait for buffers to be reflected
 * back from the same mailbox. The target sends the buffers FIFO order.
 * Once the final buffer has been received for a mailbox, the next mailbox is tested.
 *
 *
 * Note:  To simplifythe test , we assume that the chosen buffer sizes
 *        will fall on a nice block pad
 *
 * It is expected that higher-order tests will be written to stress the mailboxes using
 * a message-based protocol (with some performance timming) that can create more
 * randomness in the packets sent over mailboxes.
