+IPM over IVSHMEM Driver sample
+################################
+
+Prerequisites
+*************
+
+* QEMU needs to available.
+
+ivshmem-server needs to be available and running. The server is available in
+Zephyr SDK or pre-built in some distributions. Otherwise, it is available in
+QEMU source tree.
+
+ivshmem-client needs to be available as it is employed in this sample as an
+external application. The same conditions of ivshmem-server apply to the
+ivshmem-server, as it is also available via QEMU.
+
+Preparing IVSHMEM server
+************************
+#. The ivshmem-server utility for QEMU can be found into the Zephyr SDK
+   directory, in:
+   ``/path/to/your/zephyr-sdk/zephyr-<version>/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/xilinx/bin/``
+
+#. You may also find ivshmem-client utility, it can be useful to check if everything works
+   as expected.
+
+#. Run ivshmem-server. For the ivshmem-server, both number of vectors and
+   shared memory size are decided at run-time (when the server is executed).
+   For Zephyr, the number of vectors and shared memory size of ivshmem are
+   decided at compile-time and run-time, respectively. For Arm64 we use
+   vectors == 2 for the project configuration in this sample. Here is an example:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      # n = number of vectors
+      $ sudo ivshmem-server -n 2
+      $ *** Example code, do not use in production ***
+
+#. Appropriately set ownership of ``/dev/shm/ivshmem`` and
+   ``/tmp/ivshmem_socket`` for your deployment scenario. For instance:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      $ sudo chgrp $USER /dev/shm/ivshmem
+      $ sudo chmod 060 /dev/shm/ivshmem
+      $ sudo chgrp $USER /tmp/ivshmem_socket
+      $ sudo chmod 060 /tmp/ivshmem_socket
+
+Building and Running
+********************
+
+After getting QEMU ready to go, first create two output folders, so open two terminals
+and create them, these folders will receive the output of Zephyr west commands:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      $ mkdir -p path/to/instance_1
+
+On another terminal window do:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      $ mkdir -p path/to/instance_2
+
+Then build the sample as follows, don't forget, two builds are necessary
+to test this sample, so append the option ``-d path/to/instance_1`` and
+on the other terminal window do the same, that is it ``-d path/to/instance_2``
+
+.. zephyr-app-commands::
+   :zephyr-app: samples/drivers/ipm/ipm_ivshmem
+   :board: qemu_cortex_a53
+   :goals: build
+   :compact:
+
+To run both QEMU sides, repeat the west build command followed
+by ``-d path/to/instance_x`` where x is 1 or 2 depending on the
+terminal window, using the run target:
+
+.. zephyr-app-commands::
+   :zephyr-app: samples/drivers/ipm/ipm_ivshmem
+   :board: qemu_cortex_a53
+   :goals: run
+   :compact:
+
+Expected output
+***************
+
+On the console just use the ``ivshmem_ipm_send`` command
+followed by the destination peer-id, to get the peer-id destination
+go to the other terminal window and check with ``ivshmem`` command:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      *** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v3.4.0-974-g7fba7d395750 ***
+
+
+      uart:~$ ivshmem
+      IVshmem up and running:
+         Shared memory: 0xafa00000 of size 4194304 bytes
+         Peer id: 12
+         Notification vectors: 2
+      uart:~$
+
+For example one of the instances has the peer-id 12, so go the other
+instance and use the command to send the IPM notification followed
+by this peer-id:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      *** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v3.4.0-974-g7fba7d395750 ***
+
+
+      uart:~$ ivshmem
+      IVshmem up and running:
+         Shared memory: 0xafa00000 of size 4194304 bytes
+         Peer id: 11
+         Notification vectors: 2
+      uart:~$ ivshmem_ipm_send 12
+
+Then go back to the other terminal window where user may see the reception
+of the notification on the terminal:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      uart:~$ ivshmem
+      IVshmem up and running:
+         Shared memory: 0xafa00000 of size 4194304 bytes
+         Peer id: 12
+         Notification vectors: 2
+      uart:~$ Received IPM notification over IVSHMEM
