HI

thanks for your reply.

I am talking about the mailbox component in sopc system components.

In the quartus handbook about the mailbox its given that mailbox has two mutexes one to ensure read from and one to write to the mailbox.In my design i want to implement mailbox+ two mutex combo.I want to know whether i have to connect two seperate mutexes along the mailbox or is oit already hardcored with in the mailbox .If its hardcored then how can i call it through the functions.Kindly help me out with some examples.

Regards
