| * ARM Nested Vector Interrupt Controller (NVIC) |
| |
| The NVIC provides an interrupt controller that is tightly coupled to |
| Cortex-M based processor cores. The NVIC implemented on different SoCs |
| vary in the number of interrupts and priority bits per interrupt. |
| |
| Main node required properties: |
| |
| - compatible : should be one of: |
| "arm,v6m-nvic" |
| "arm,v7m-nvic" |
| "arm,v8m-nvic" |
| - interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller |
| - #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an |
| interrupt source. The type shall be a <u32> and the value shall be 2. |
| |
| The 1st cell contains the interrupt number for the interrupt type. |
| |
| The 2nd cell is the priority of the interrupt. |
| |
| - reg : Specifies base physical address(s) and size of the NVIC registers. |
| This is at a fixed address (0xe000e100) and size (0xc00). |
| |
| - arm,num-irq-priority-bits: The number of priority bits implemented by the |
| given SoC |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| intc: interrupt-controller@e000e100 { |
| compatible = "arm,v7m-nvic"; |
| #interrupt-cells = <2>; |
| #address-cells = <1>; |
| interrupt-controller; |
| reg = <0xe000e100 0xc00>; |
| arm,num-irq-priority-bits = <4>; |
| }; |
