1. A system, comprising:
a message receiver in a System On Chip (SOC), wherein the message receiver:
obtains a synchronization trigger associated with synchronizing credit; and
in response to receiving the synchronization trigger, sends, from the message receiver to a message sender in the SOC, a value for a local credit in the message sender; and

the message sender, wherein:
the message sender updates the local credit with the value for the credit that is received from the message receiver;
a requirement to send a message from the message sender to the message receiver is that the local credit has a non-zero value;
obtaining the synchronization trigger includes enabling, at the message receiver, the synchronization trigger during initialization of the message receiver; and
the message receiver is included in a hardware functional module in the SOC.
