| NVIDIA Tegra Hardware Synchronization Primitives (HSP) |
| |
| The HSP modules are used for the processors to share resources and communicate |
| together. It provides a set of hardware synchronization primitives for |
| interprocessor communication. So the interprocessor communication (IPC) |
| protocols can use hardware synchronization primitives, when operating between |
| two processors not in an SMP relationship. |
| |
| The features that HSP supported are shared mailboxes, shared semaphores, |
| arbitrated semaphores and doorbells. |
| |
| Required properties: |
| - name : Should be hsp |
| - compatible |
| Array of strings. |
| one of: |
| - "nvidia,tegra186-hsp" |
| - "nvidia,tegra194-hsp", "nvidia,tegra186-hsp" |
| - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device. |
| - interrupt-names |
| Array of strings. |
| Contains a list of names for the interrupts described by the interrupt |
| property. May contain the following entries, in any order: |
| - "doorbell" |
| - "sharedN", where 'N' is a number from zero up to the number of |
| external interrupts supported by the HSP instance minus one. |
| Users of this binding MUST look up entries in the interrupt property |
| by name, using this interrupt-names property to do so. |
| - interrupts |
| Array of interrupt specifiers. |
| Must contain one entry per entry in the interrupt-names property, |
| in a matching order. |
| - #mbox-cells : Should be 2. |
| |
| The mbox specifier of the "mboxes" property in the client node should contain |
| two cells. The first cell determines the HSP type and the second cell is used |
| to identify the mailbox that the client is going to use. |
| |
| For doorbells, the second cell specifies the index of the doorbell to use. |
| |
| For shared mailboxes, the second cell is composed of two fields: |
| - bits 31..24: |
| A bit mask of flags that further specify how the shared mailbox will be |
| used. Valid flags are: |
| - bit 31: |
| Defines the direction of the mailbox. If set, the mailbox will be used |
| as a producer (i.e. used to send data). If cleared, the mailbox is the |
| consumer of data sent by a producer. |
| |
| - bits 23.. 0: |
| The index of the shared mailbox to use. The number of available mailboxes |
| may vary by instance of the HSP block and SoC generation. |
| |
| The following file contains definitions that can be used to construct mailbox |
| specifiers: |
| |
| <dt-bindings/mailbox/tegra186-hsp.h> |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| hsp_top0: hsp@3c00000 { |
| compatible = "nvidia,tegra186-hsp"; |
| reg = <0x0 0x03c00000 0x0 0xa0000>; |
| interrupts = <GIC_SPI 176 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>; |
| interrupt-names = "doorbell"; |
| #mbox-cells = <2>; |
| }; |
| |
| client { |
| ... |
| mboxes = <&hsp_top0 TEGRA_HSP_MBOX_TYPE_DB TEGRA_HSP_DB_MASTER_XXX>; |
| }; |
