| 124 | |
| 125 | I - Introduction |
| 126 | ================ |
| 127 | |
| 128 | During the recent development of the Linux/ppc64 kernel, and more |
| 129 | specifically, the addition of new platform types outside of the old |
| 130 | IBM pSeries/iSeries pair, it was decided to enforce some strict rules |
| 131 | regarding the kernel entry and bootloader <-> kernel interfaces, in |
| 132 | order to avoid the degeneration that had become the ppc32 kernel entry |
| 133 | point and the way a new platform should be added to the kernel. The |
| 134 | legacy iSeries platform breaks those rules as it predates this scheme, |
| 135 | but no new board support will be accepted in the main tree that |
| 136 | doesn't follows them properly. In addition, since the advent of the |
| 137 | arch/powerpc merged architecture for ppc32 and ppc64, new 32-bit |
| 138 | platforms and 32-bit platforms which move into arch/powerpc will be |
| 139 | required to use these rules as well. |
| 140 | |
| 141 | The main requirement that will be defined in more detail below is |
| 142 | the presence of a device-tree whose format is defined after Open |
| 143 | Firmware specification. However, in order to make life easier |
| 144 | to embedded board vendors, the kernel doesn't require the device-tree |
| 145 | to represent every device in the system and only requires some nodes |
| 146 | and properties to be present. This will be described in detail in |
| 147 | section III, but, for example, the kernel does not require you to |
| 148 | create a node for every PCI device in the system. It is a requirement |
| 149 | to have a node for PCI host bridges in order to provide interrupt |
| 150 | routing informations and memory/IO ranges, among others. It is also |
| 151 | recommended to define nodes for on chip devices and other busses that |
| 152 | don't specifically fit in an existing OF specification. This creates a |
| 153 | great flexibility in the way the kernel can then probe those and match |
| 154 | drivers to device, without having to hard code all sorts of tables. It |
| 155 | also makes it more flexible for board vendors to do minor hardware |
| 156 | upgrades without significantly impacting the kernel code or cluttering |
| 157 | it with special cases. |
| 158 | |
| 159 | |
| 160 | 1) Entry point for arch/powerpc |
| 161 | ------------------------------- |
| 162 | |
| 163 | There is one and one single entry point to the kernel, at the start |
| 164 | of the kernel image. That entry point supports two calling |
| 165 | conventions: |
| 166 | |
| 167 | a) Boot from Open Firmware. If your firmware is compatible |
| 168 | with Open Firmware (IEEE 1275) or provides an OF compatible |
| 169 | client interface API (support for "interpret" callback of |
| 170 | forth words isn't required), you can enter the kernel with: |
| 171 | |
| 172 | r5 : OF callback pointer as defined by IEEE 1275 |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 173 | bindings to powerpc. Only the 32-bit client interface |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 174 | is currently supported |
| 175 | |
| 176 | r3, r4 : address & length of an initrd if any or 0 |
| 177 | |
| 178 | The MMU is either on or off; the kernel will run the |
| 179 | trampoline located in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c to |
| 180 | extract the device-tree and other information from open |
| 181 | firmware and build a flattened device-tree as described |
| 182 | in b). prom_init() will then re-enter the kernel using |
| 183 | the second method. This trampoline code runs in the |
| 184 | context of the firmware, which is supposed to handle all |
| 185 | exceptions during that time. |
| 186 | |
| 187 | b) Direct entry with a flattened device-tree block. This entry |
| 188 | point is called by a) after the OF trampoline and can also be |
| 189 | called directly by a bootloader that does not support the Open |
| 190 | Firmware client interface. It is also used by "kexec" to |
| 191 | implement "hot" booting of a new kernel from a previous |
| 192 | running one. This method is what I will describe in more |
| 193 | details in this document, as method a) is simply standard Open |
| 194 | Firmware, and thus should be implemented according to the |
| 195 | various standard documents defining it and its binding to the |
| 196 | PowerPC platform. The entry point definition then becomes: |
| 197 | |
| 198 | r3 : physical pointer to the device-tree block |
| 199 | (defined in chapter II) in RAM |
| 200 | |
| 201 | r4 : physical pointer to the kernel itself. This is |
| 202 | used by the assembly code to properly disable the MMU |
| 203 | in case you are entering the kernel with MMU enabled |
| 204 | and a non-1:1 mapping. |
| 205 | |
Matt LaPlante | 2fe0ae7 | 2006-10-03 22:50:39 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 206 | r5 : NULL (as to differentiate with method a) |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 207 | |
| 208 | Note about SMP entry: Either your firmware puts your other |
| 209 | CPUs in some sleep loop or spin loop in ROM where you can get |
| 210 | them out via a soft reset or some other means, in which case |
| 211 | you don't need to care, or you'll have to enter the kernel |
| 212 | with all CPUs. The way to do that with method b) will be |
| 213 | described in a later revision of this document. |
| 214 | |
| 215 | |
| 216 | 2) Board support |
| 217 | ---------------- |
| 218 | |
| 219 | 64-bit kernels: |
| 220 | |
| 221 | Board supports (platforms) are not exclusive config options. An |
| 222 | arbitrary set of board supports can be built in a single kernel |
| 223 | image. The kernel will "know" what set of functions to use for a |
| 224 | given platform based on the content of the device-tree. Thus, you |
| 225 | should: |
| 226 | |
| 227 | a) add your platform support as a _boolean_ option in |
| 228 | arch/powerpc/Kconfig, following the example of PPC_PSERIES, |
| 229 | PPC_PMAC and PPC_MAPLE. The later is probably a good |
| 230 | example of a board support to start from. |
| 231 | |
| 232 | b) create your main platform file as |
| 233 | "arch/powerpc/platforms/myplatform/myboard_setup.c" and add it |
| 234 | to the Makefile under the condition of your CONFIG_ |
| 235 | option. This file will define a structure of type "ppc_md" |
| 236 | containing the various callbacks that the generic code will |
| 237 | use to get to your platform specific code |
| 238 | |
| 239 | c) Add a reference to your "ppc_md" structure in the |
| 240 | "machines" table in arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c if you are |
| 241 | a 64-bit platform. |
| 242 | |
| 243 | d) request and get assigned a platform number (see PLATFORM_* |
| 244 | constants in include/asm-powerpc/processor.h |
| 245 | |
| 246 | 32-bit embedded kernels: |
| 247 | |
| 248 | Currently, board support is essentially an exclusive config option. |
| 249 | The kernel is configured for a single platform. Part of the reason |
| 250 | for this is to keep kernels on embedded systems small and efficient; |
| 251 | part of this is due to the fact the code is already that way. In the |
| 252 | future, a kernel may support multiple platforms, but only if the |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 253 | platforms feature the same core architecture. A single kernel build |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 254 | cannot support both configurations with Book E and configurations |
| 255 | with classic Powerpc architectures. |
| 256 | |
| 257 | 32-bit embedded platforms that are moved into arch/powerpc using a |
| 258 | flattened device tree should adopt the merged tree practice of |
| 259 | setting ppc_md up dynamically, even though the kernel is currently |
| 260 | built with support for only a single platform at a time. This allows |
| 261 | unification of the setup code, and will make it easier to go to a |
| 262 | multiple-platform-support model in the future. |
| 263 | |
| 264 | NOTE: I believe the above will be true once Ben's done with the merge |
| 265 | of the boot sequences.... someone speak up if this is wrong! |
| 266 | |
| 267 | To add a 32-bit embedded platform support, follow the instructions |
| 268 | for 64-bit platforms above, with the exception that the Kconfig |
| 269 | option should be set up such that the kernel builds exclusively for |
| 270 | the platform selected. The processor type for the platform should |
| 271 | enable another config option to select the specific board |
| 272 | supported. |
| 273 | |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 274 | NOTE: If Ben doesn't merge the setup files, may need to change this to |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 275 | point to setup_32.c |
| 276 | |
| 277 | |
| 278 | I will describe later the boot process and various callbacks that |
| 279 | your platform should implement. |
| 280 | |
| 281 | |
| 282 | II - The DT block format |
| 283 | ======================== |
| 284 | |
| 285 | |
| 286 | This chapter defines the actual format of the flattened device-tree |
| 287 | passed to the kernel. The actual content of it and kernel requirements |
| 288 | are described later. You can find example of code manipulating that |
| 289 | format in various places, including arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c |
| 290 | which will generate a flattened device-tree from the Open Firmware |
| 291 | representation, or the fs2dt utility which is part of the kexec tools |
| 292 | which will generate one from a filesystem representation. It is |
| 293 | expected that a bootloader like uboot provides a bit more support, |
| 294 | that will be discussed later as well. |
| 295 | |
| 296 | Note: The block has to be in main memory. It has to be accessible in |
| 297 | both real mode and virtual mode with no mapping other than main |
| 298 | memory. If you are writing a simple flash bootloader, it should copy |
| 299 | the block to RAM before passing it to the kernel. |
| 300 | |
| 301 | |
| 302 | 1) Header |
| 303 | --------- |
| 304 | |
| 305 | The kernel is entered with r3 pointing to an area of memory that is |
Matt LaPlante | d6bc8ac | 2006-10-03 22:54:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 306 | roughly described in include/asm-powerpc/prom.h by the structure |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 307 | boot_param_header: |
| 308 | |
| 309 | struct boot_param_header { |
| 310 | u32 magic; /* magic word OF_DT_HEADER */ |
| 311 | u32 totalsize; /* total size of DT block */ |
| 312 | u32 off_dt_struct; /* offset to structure */ |
| 313 | u32 off_dt_strings; /* offset to strings */ |
| 314 | u32 off_mem_rsvmap; /* offset to memory reserve map |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 315 | */ |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 316 | u32 version; /* format version */ |
| 317 | u32 last_comp_version; /* last compatible version */ |
| 318 | |
| 319 | /* version 2 fields below */ |
| 320 | u32 boot_cpuid_phys; /* Which physical CPU id we're |
| 321 | booting on */ |
| 322 | /* version 3 fields below */ |
| 323 | u32 size_dt_strings; /* size of the strings block */ |
David Gibson | 0e0293c | 2007-03-14 11:50:40 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 324 | |
| 325 | /* version 17 fields below */ |
| 326 | u32 size_dt_struct; /* size of the DT structure block */ |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 327 | }; |
| 328 | |
| 329 | Along with the constants: |
| 330 | |
| 331 | /* Definitions used by the flattened device tree */ |
| 332 | #define OF_DT_HEADER 0xd00dfeed /* 4: version, |
| 333 | 4: total size */ |
| 334 | #define OF_DT_BEGIN_NODE 0x1 /* Start node: full name |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 335 | */ |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 336 | #define OF_DT_END_NODE 0x2 /* End node */ |
| 337 | #define OF_DT_PROP 0x3 /* Property: name off, |
| 338 | size, content */ |
| 339 | #define OF_DT_END 0x9 |
| 340 | |
| 341 | All values in this header are in big endian format, the various |
| 342 | fields in this header are defined more precisely below. All |
| 343 | "offset" values are in bytes from the start of the header; that is |
| 344 | from the value of r3. |
| 345 | |
| 346 | - magic |
| 347 | |
| 348 | This is a magic value that "marks" the beginning of the |
| 349 | device-tree block header. It contains the value 0xd00dfeed and is |
| 350 | defined by the constant OF_DT_HEADER |
| 351 | |
| 352 | - totalsize |
| 353 | |
| 354 | This is the total size of the DT block including the header. The |
| 355 | "DT" block should enclose all data structures defined in this |
| 356 | chapter (who are pointed to by offsets in this header). That is, |
| 357 | the device-tree structure, strings, and the memory reserve map. |
| 358 | |
| 359 | - off_dt_struct |
| 360 | |
| 361 | This is an offset from the beginning of the header to the start |
| 362 | of the "structure" part the device tree. (see 2) device tree) |
| 363 | |
| 364 | - off_dt_strings |
| 365 | |
| 366 | This is an offset from the beginning of the header to the start |
| 367 | of the "strings" part of the device-tree |
| 368 | |
| 369 | - off_mem_rsvmap |
| 370 | |
| 371 | This is an offset from the beginning of the header to the start |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 372 | of the reserved memory map. This map is a list of pairs of 64- |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 373 | bit integers. Each pair is a physical address and a size. The |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 374 | list is terminated by an entry of size 0. This map provides the |
| 375 | kernel with a list of physical memory areas that are "reserved" |
| 376 | and thus not to be used for memory allocations, especially during |
| 377 | early initialization. The kernel needs to allocate memory during |
| 378 | boot for things like un-flattening the device-tree, allocating an |
| 379 | MMU hash table, etc... Those allocations must be done in such a |
| 380 | way to avoid overriding critical things like, on Open Firmware |
| 381 | capable machines, the RTAS instance, or on some pSeries, the TCE |
| 382 | tables used for the iommu. Typically, the reserve map should |
| 383 | contain _at least_ this DT block itself (header,total_size). If |
| 384 | you are passing an initrd to the kernel, you should reserve it as |
| 385 | well. You do not need to reserve the kernel image itself. The map |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 386 | should be 64-bit aligned. |

| 388 | - version |
| 389 | |
| 390 | This is the version of this structure. Version 1 stops |
| 391 | here. Version 2 adds an additional field boot_cpuid_phys. |
| 392 | Version 3 adds the size of the strings block, allowing the kernel |
| 393 | to reallocate it easily at boot and free up the unused flattened |
| 394 | structure after expansion. Version 16 introduces a new more |
| 395 | "compact" format for the tree itself that is however not backward |
David Gibson | 0e0293c | 2007-03-14 11:50:40 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 396 | compatible. Version 17 adds an additional field, size_dt_struct, |
| 397 | allowing it to be reallocated or moved more easily (this is |
| 398 | particularly useful for bootloaders which need to make |
| 399 | adjustments to a device tree based on probed information). You |
| 400 | should always generate a structure of the highest version defined |
| 401 | at the time of your implementation. Currently that is version 17, |
| 402 | unless you explicitly aim at being backward compatible. |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 403 | |
| 404 | - last_comp_version |
| 405 | |
| 406 | Last compatible version. This indicates down to what version of |
| 407 | the DT block you are backward compatible. For example, version 2 |
| 408 | is backward compatible with version 1 (that is, a kernel build |
| 409 | for version 1 will be able to boot with a version 2 format). You |
| 410 | should put a 1 in this field if you generate a device tree of |
David Gibson | 0e0293c | 2007-03-14 11:50:40 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 411 | version 1 to 3, or 16 if you generate a tree of version 16 or 17 |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 412 | using the new unit name format. |
| 413 | |
| 414 | - boot_cpuid_phys |
| 415 | |
| 416 | This field only exist on version 2 headers. It indicate which |
| 417 | physical CPU ID is calling the kernel entry point. This is used, |
| 418 | among others, by kexec. If you are on an SMP system, this value |
| 419 | should match the content of the "reg" property of the CPU node in |
| 420 | the device-tree corresponding to the CPU calling the kernel entry |
| 421 | point (see further chapters for more informations on the required |
| 422 | device-tree contents) |
| 423 | |
David Gibson | 0e0293c | 2007-03-14 11:50:40 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 424 | - size_dt_strings |
| 425 | |
| 426 | This field only exists on version 3 and later headers. It |
| 427 | gives the size of the "strings" section of the device tree (which |
| 428 | starts at the offset given by off_dt_strings). |
| 429 | |
| 430 | - size_dt_struct |
| 431 | |
| 432 | This field only exists on version 17 and later headers. It gives |
| 433 | the size of the "structure" section of the device tree (which |
| 434 | starts at the offset given by off_dt_struct). |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 435 | |
| 436 | So the typical layout of a DT block (though the various parts don't |
| 437 | need to be in that order) looks like this (addresses go from top to |
| 438 | bottom): |
| 439 | |

| 468 | |
| 469 | 2) Device tree generalities |
| 470 | --------------------------- |
| 471 | |
| 472 | This device-tree itself is separated in two different blocks, a |
| 473 | structure block and a strings block. Both need to be aligned to a 4 |
| 474 | byte boundary. |
| 475 | |
| 476 | First, let's quickly describe the device-tree concept before detailing |
| 477 | the storage format. This chapter does _not_ describe the detail of the |
| 478 | required types of nodes & properties for the kernel, this is done |
| 479 | later in chapter III. |
| 480 | |
| 481 | The device-tree layout is strongly inherited from the definition of |
| 482 | the Open Firmware IEEE 1275 device-tree. It's basically a tree of |
| 483 | nodes, each node having two or more named properties. A property can |
| 484 | have a value or not. |
| 485 | |
| 486 | It is a tree, so each node has one and only one parent except for the |
| 487 | root node who has no parent. |
| 488 | |
| 489 | A node has 2 names. The actual node name is generally contained in a |
| 490 | property of type "name" in the node property list whose value is a |
| 491 | zero terminated string and is mandatory for version 1 to 3 of the |
David Gibson | 0e0293c | 2007-03-14 11:50:40 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 492 | format definition (as it is in Open Firmware). Version 16 makes it |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 493 | optional as it can generate it from the unit name defined below. |
| 494 | |
Matt LaPlante | 2fe0ae7 | 2006-10-03 22:50:39 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 495 | There is also a "unit name" that is used to differentiate nodes with |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 496 | the same name at the same level, it is usually made of the node |
Matt LaPlante | 2fe0ae7 | 2006-10-03 22:50:39 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 497 | names, the "@" sign, and a "unit address", which definition is |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 498 | specific to the bus type the node sits on. |
| 499 | |
| 500 | The unit name doesn't exist as a property per-se but is included in |
| 501 | the device-tree structure. It is typically used to represent "path" in |
| 502 | the device-tree. More details about the actual format of these will be |
| 503 | below. |
| 504 | |
| 505 | The kernel powerpc generic code does not make any formal use of the |
| 506 | unit address (though some board support code may do) so the only real |
| 507 | requirement here for the unit address is to ensure uniqueness of |
| 508 | the node unit name at a given level of the tree. Nodes with no notion |
| 509 | of address and no possible sibling of the same name (like /memory or |
| 510 | /cpus) may omit the unit address in the context of this specification, |
| 511 | or use the "@0" default unit address. The unit name is used to define |
| 512 | a node "full path", which is the concatenation of all parent node |
| 513 | unit names separated with "/". |
| 514 | |
| 515 | The root node doesn't have a defined name, and isn't required to have |
| 516 | a name property either if you are using version 3 or earlier of the |
| 517 | format. It also has no unit address (no @ symbol followed by a unit |
| 518 | address). The root node unit name is thus an empty string. The full |
| 519 | path to the root node is "/". |
| 520 | |
| 521 | Every node which actually represents an actual device (that is, a node |
| 522 | which isn't only a virtual "container" for more nodes, like "/cpus" |
| 523 | is) is also required to have a "device_type" property indicating the |
| 524 | type of node . |
| 525 | |
| 526 | Finally, every node that can be referenced from a property in another |
| 527 | node is required to have a "linux,phandle" property. Real open |
| 528 | firmware implementations provide a unique "phandle" value for every |
| 529 | node that the "prom_init()" trampoline code turns into |
| 530 | "linux,phandle" properties. However, this is made optional if the |
| 531 | flattened device tree is used directly. An example of a node |
| 532 | referencing another node via "phandle" is when laying out the |
| 533 | interrupt tree which will be described in a further version of this |
| 534 | document. |
| 535 | |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 536 | This "linux, phandle" property is a 32-bit value that uniquely |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 537 | identifies a node. You are free to use whatever values or system of |
| 538 | values, internal pointers, or whatever to generate these, the only |
| 539 | requirement is that every node for which you provide that property has |
| 540 | a unique value for it. |
| 541 | |
| 542 | Here is an example of a simple device-tree. In this example, an "o" |
| 543 | designates a node followed by the node unit name. Properties are |
| 544 | presented with their name followed by their content. "content" |
| 545 | represents an ASCII string (zero terminated) value, while <content> |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 546 | represents a 32-bit hexadecimal value. The various nodes in this |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 547 | example will be discussed in a later chapter. At this point, it is |
| 548 | only meant to give you a idea of what a device-tree looks like. I have |
| 549 | purposefully kept the "name" and "linux,phandle" properties which |
| 550 | aren't necessary in order to give you a better idea of what the tree |
| 551 | looks like in practice. |
| 552 | |

| 554 | |- name = "device-tree" |

| 585 | |
| 586 | This tree is almost a minimal tree. It pretty much contains the |
| 587 | minimal set of required nodes and properties to boot a linux kernel; |
| 588 | that is, some basic model informations at the root, the CPUs, and the |
| 589 | physical memory layout. It also includes misc information passed |
| 590 | through /chosen, like in this example, the platform type (mandatory) |
| 591 | and the kernel command line arguments (optional). |
| 592 | |
Timur Tabi | 32aed2a | 2007-02-14 15:29:07 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 593 | The /cpus/PowerPC,970@0/64-bit property is an example of a |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 594 | property without a value. All other properties have a value. The |
| 595 | significance of the #address-cells and #size-cells properties will be |
| 596 | explained in chapter IV which defines precisely the required nodes and |
| 597 | properties and their content. |
| 598 | |
| 599 | |
| 600 | 3) Device tree "structure" block |
| 601 | |
| 602 | The structure of the device tree is a linearized tree structure. The |
| 603 | "OF_DT_BEGIN_NODE" token starts a new node, and the "OF_DT_END_NODE" |
| 604 | ends that node definition. Child nodes are simply defined before |
| 605 | "OF_DT_END_NODE" (that is nodes within the node). A 'token' is a 32 |
| 606 | bit value. The tree has to be "finished" with a OF_DT_END token |
| 607 | |
| 608 | Here's the basic structure of a single node: |
| 609 | |
| 610 | * token OF_DT_BEGIN_NODE (that is 0x00000001) |
| 611 | * for version 1 to 3, this is the node full path as a zero |
| 612 | terminated string, starting with "/". For version 16 and later, |
| 613 | this is the node unit name only (or an empty string for the |
| 614 | root node) |
| 615 | * [align gap to next 4 bytes boundary] |
| 616 | * for each property: |
| 617 | * token OF_DT_PROP (that is 0x00000003) |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 618 | * 32-bit value of property value size in bytes (or 0 if no |
| 619 | value) |
| 620 | * 32-bit value of offset in string block of property name |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 621 | * property value data if any |
| 622 | * [align gap to next 4 bytes boundary] |
| 623 | * [child nodes if any] |
| 624 | * token OF_DT_END_NODE (that is 0x00000002) |
| 625 | |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 626 | So the node content can be summarized as a start token, a full path, |
Matt LaPlante | 53cb472 | 2006-10-03 22:55:17 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 627 | a list of properties, a list of child nodes, and an end token. Every |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 628 | child node is a full node structure itself as defined above. |
| 629 | |
David Gibson | eff2ebd | 2007-06-28 15:56:26 +1000 | [diff] [blame] | 630 | NOTE: The above definition requires that all property definitions for |
| 631 | a particular node MUST precede any subnode definitions for that node. |
| 632 | Although the structure would not be ambiguous if properties and |
| 633 | subnodes were intermingled, the kernel parser requires that the |
| 634 | properties come first (up until at least 2.6.22). Any tools |
| 635 | manipulating a flattened tree must take care to preserve this |
| 636 | constraint. |
| 637 | |
Matt LaPlante | 53cb472 | 2006-10-03 22:55:17 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 638 | 4) Device tree "strings" block |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 639 | |
| 640 | In order to save space, property names, which are generally redundant, |
| 641 | are stored separately in the "strings" block. This block is simply the |
| 642 | whole bunch of zero terminated strings for all property names |
| 643 | concatenated together. The device-tree property definitions in the |
| 644 | structure block will contain offset values from the beginning of the |
| 645 | strings block. |
| 646 | |
| 647 | |
| 648 | III - Required content of the device tree |
| 649 | ========================================= |
| 650 | |
| 651 | WARNING: All "linux,*" properties defined in this document apply only |
| 652 | to a flattened device-tree. If your platform uses a real |
| 653 | implementation of Open Firmware or an implementation compatible with |
| 654 | the Open Firmware client interface, those properties will be created |
| 655 | by the trampoline code in the kernel's prom_init() file. For example, |
| 656 | that's where you'll have to add code to detect your board model and |
Matt LaPlante | a2ffd27 | 2006-10-03 22:49:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 657 | set the platform number. However, when using the flattened device-tree |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 658 | entry point, there is no prom_init() pass, and thus you have to |
| 659 | provide those properties yourself. |
| 660 | |
| 661 | |
| 662 | 1) Note about cells and address representation |
| 663 | ---------------------------------------------- |
| 664 | |
| 665 | The general rule is documented in the various Open Firmware |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 666 | documentations. If you choose to describe a bus with the device-tree |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 667 | and there exist an OF bus binding, then you should follow the |
| 668 | specification. However, the kernel does not require every single |
| 669 | device or bus to be described by the device tree. |
| 670 | |
| 671 | In general, the format of an address for a device is defined by the |
| 672 | parent bus type, based on the #address-cells and #size-cells |
| 673 | property. In the absence of such a property, the parent's parent |
| 674 | values are used, etc... The kernel requires the root node to have |
| 675 | those properties defining addresses format for devices directly mapped |
| 676 | on the processor bus. |
| 677 | |
| 678 | Those 2 properties define 'cells' for representing an address and a |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 679 | size. A "cell" is a 32-bit number. For example, if both contain 2 |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 680 | like the example tree given above, then an address and a size are both |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 681 | composed of 2 cells, and each is a 64-bit number (cells are |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 682 | concatenated and expected to be in big endian format). Another example |
| 683 | is the way Apple firmware defines them, with 2 cells for an address |
| 684 | and one cell for a size. Most 32-bit implementations should define |
| 685 | #address-cells and #size-cells to 1, which represents a 32-bit value. |
| 686 | Some 32-bit processors allow for physical addresses greater than 32 |
| 687 | bits; these processors should define #address-cells as 2. |
| 688 | |
| 689 | "reg" properties are always a tuple of the type "address size" where |
| 690 | the number of cells of address and size is specified by the bus |
| 691 | #address-cells and #size-cells. When a bus supports various address |
| 692 | spaces and other flags relative to a given address allocation (like |
| 693 | prefetchable, etc...) those flags are usually added to the top level |
| 694 | bits of the physical address. For example, a PCI physical address is |
| 695 | made of 3 cells, the bottom two containing the actual address itself |
| 696 | while the top cell contains address space indication, flags, and pci |
| 697 | bus & device numbers. |
| 698 | |
| 699 | For busses that support dynamic allocation, it's the accepted practice |
| 700 | to then not provide the address in "reg" (keep it 0) though while |
| 701 | providing a flag indicating the address is dynamically allocated, and |
| 702 | then, to provide a separate "assigned-addresses" property that |
| 703 | contains the fully allocated addresses. See the PCI OF bindings for |
| 704 | details. |
| 705 | |
| 706 | In general, a simple bus with no address space bits and no dynamic |
| 707 | allocation is preferred if it reflects your hardware, as the existing |
| 708 | kernel address parsing functions will work out of the box. If you |
| 709 | define a bus type with a more complex address format, including things |
| 710 | like address space bits, you'll have to add a bus translator to the |
| 711 | prom_parse.c file of the recent kernels for your bus type. |
| 712 | |
| 713 | The "reg" property only defines addresses and sizes (if #size-cells |
Matt LaPlante | 992caac | 2006-10-03 22:52:05 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 714 | is non-0) within a given bus. In order to translate addresses upward |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 715 | (that is into parent bus addresses, and possibly into CPU physical |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 716 | addresses), all busses must contain a "ranges" property. If the |
| 717 | "ranges" property is missing at a given level, it's assumed that |
Matt LaPlante | 992caac | 2006-10-03 22:52:05 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 718 | translation isn't possible. The format of the "ranges" property for a |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 719 | bus is a list of: |
| 720 | |
| 721 | bus address, parent bus address, size |
| 722 | |
| 723 | "bus address" is in the format of the bus this bus node is defining, |
| 724 | that is, for a PCI bridge, it would be a PCI address. Thus, (bus |
| 725 | address, size) defines a range of addresses for child devices. "parent |
| 726 | bus address" is in the format of the parent bus of this bus. For |
| 727 | example, for a PCI host controller, that would be a CPU address. For a |
| 728 | PCI<->ISA bridge, that would be a PCI address. It defines the base |
| 729 | address in the parent bus where the beginning of that range is mapped. |
| 730 | |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 731 | For a new 64-bit powerpc board, I recommend either the 2/2 format or |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 732 | Apple's 2/1 format which is slightly more compact since sizes usually |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 733 | fit in a single 32-bit word. New 32-bit powerpc boards should use a |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 734 | 1/1 format, unless the processor supports physical addresses greater |
| 735 | than 32-bits, in which case a 2/1 format is recommended. |
| 736 | |
| 737 | |
| 738 | 2) Note about "compatible" properties |
| 739 | ------------------------------------- |
| 740 | |
| 741 | These properties are optional, but recommended in devices and the root |
| 742 | node. The format of a "compatible" property is a list of concatenated |
| 743 | zero terminated strings. They allow a device to express its |
| 744 | compatibility with a family of similar devices, in some cases, |
| 745 | allowing a single driver to match against several devices regardless |
| 746 | of their actual names. |
| 747 | |
| 748 | 3) Note about "name" properties |
| 749 | ------------------------------- |
| 750 | |
| 751 | While earlier users of Open Firmware like OldWorld macintoshes tended |
| 752 | to use the actual device name for the "name" property, it's nowadays |
| 753 | considered a good practice to use a name that is closer to the device |
| 754 | class (often equal to device_type). For example, nowadays, ethernet |
| 755 | controllers are named "ethernet", an additional "model" property |
| 756 | defining precisely the chip type/model, and "compatible" property |
| 757 | defining the family in case a single driver can driver more than one |
| 758 | of these chips. However, the kernel doesn't generally put any |
| 759 | restriction on the "name" property; it is simply considered good |
| 760 | practice to follow the standard and its evolutions as closely as |
| 761 | possible. |
| 762 | |
| 763 | Note also that the new format version 16 makes the "name" property |
| 764 | optional. If it's absent for a node, then the node's unit name is then |
| 765 | used to reconstruct the name. That is, the part of the unit name |
| 766 | before the "@" sign is used (or the entire unit name if no "@" sign |
| 767 | is present). |
| 768 | |
| 769 | 4) Note about node and property names and character set |
| 770 | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| 771 | |
Matt LaPlante | a2ffd27 | 2006-10-03 22:49:15 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 772 | While open firmware provides more flexible usage of 8859-1, this |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 773 | specification enforces more strict rules. Nodes and properties should |
| 774 | be comprised only of ASCII characters 'a' to 'z', '0' to |
| 775 | '9', ',', '.', '_', '+', '#', '?', and '-'. Node names additionally |
| 776 | allow uppercase characters 'A' to 'Z' (property names should be |
| 777 | lowercase. The fact that vendors like Apple don't respect this rule is |
| 778 | irrelevant here). Additionally, node and property names should always |
| 779 | begin with a character in the range 'a' to 'z' (or 'A' to 'Z' for node |
| 780 | names). |
| 781 | |
| 782 | The maximum number of characters for both nodes and property names |
| 783 | is 31. In the case of node names, this is only the leftmost part of |
| 784 | a unit name (the pure "name" property), it doesn't include the unit |
| 785 | address which can extend beyond that limit. |
| 786 | |
| 787 | |
| 788 | 5) Required nodes and properties |
| 789 | -------------------------------- |
| 790 | These are all that are currently required. However, it is strongly |
| 791 | recommended that you expose PCI host bridges as documented in the |
| 792 | PCI binding to open firmware, and your interrupt tree as documented |
| 793 | in OF interrupt tree specification. |
| 794 | |
| 795 | a) The root node |
| 796 | |
| 797 | The root node requires some properties to be present: |
| 798 | |
| 799 | - model : this is your board name/model |
| 800 | - #address-cells : address representation for "root" devices |
| 801 | - #size-cells: the size representation for "root" devices |
Benjamin Herrenschmidt | e822250 | 2006-03-28 23:15:54 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 802 | - device_type : This property shouldn't be necessary. However, if |
| 803 | you decide to create a device_type for your root node, make sure it |
| 804 | is _not_ "chrp" unless your platform is a pSeries or PAPR compliant |
| 805 | one for 64-bit, or a CHRP-type machine for 32-bit as this will |
| 806 | matched by the kernel this way. |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 807 | |
| 808 | Additionally, some recommended properties are: |
| 809 | |
| 810 | - compatible : the board "family" generally finds its way here, |
| 811 | for example, if you have 2 board models with a similar layout, |
| 812 | that typically get driven by the same platform code in the |
| 813 | kernel, you would use a different "model" property but put a |
| 814 | value in "compatible". The kernel doesn't directly use that |
Stuart Yoder | 143a42d | 2007-02-16 11:30:29 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 815 | value but it is generally useful. |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 816 | |
| 817 | The root node is also generally where you add additional properties |
| 818 | specific to your board like the serial number if any, that sort of |
Matt LaPlante | 6c28f2c | 2006-10-03 22:46:31 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 819 | thing. It is recommended that if you add any "custom" property whose |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 820 | name may clash with standard defined ones, you prefix them with your |
| 821 | vendor name and a comma. |
| 822 | |
| 823 | b) The /cpus node |
| 824 | |
| 825 | This node is the parent of all individual CPU nodes. It doesn't |
| 826 | have any specific requirements, though it's generally good practice |
| 827 | to have at least: |
| 828 | |
| 829 | #address-cells = <00000001> |
| 830 | #size-cells = <00000000> |
| 831 | |
| 832 | This defines that the "address" for a CPU is a single cell, and has |
| 833 | no meaningful size. This is not necessary but the kernel will assume |
| 834 | that format when reading the "reg" properties of a CPU node, see |
| 835 | below |
| 836 | |
| 837 | c) The /cpus/* nodes |
| 838 | |
| 839 | So under /cpus, you are supposed to create a node for every CPU on |
| 840 | the machine. There is no specific restriction on the name of the |
| 841 | CPU, though It's common practice to call it PowerPC,<name>. For |
| 842 | example, Apple uses PowerPC,G5 while IBM uses PowerPC,970FX. |
| 843 | |
| 844 | Required properties: |
| 845 | |
| 846 | - device_type : has to be "cpu" |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 847 | - reg : This is the physical CPU number, it's a single 32-bit cell |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 848 | and is also used as-is as the unit number for constructing the |
| 849 | unit name in the full path. For example, with 2 CPUs, you would |
| 850 | have the full path: |
| 851 | /cpus/PowerPC,970FX@0 |
| 852 | /cpus/PowerPC,970FX@1 |
| 853 | (unit addresses do not require leading zeroes) |
| 854 | - d-cache-line-size : one cell, L1 data cache line size in bytes |
| 855 | - i-cache-line-size : one cell, L1 instruction cache line size in |
| 856 | bytes |
| 857 | - d-cache-size : one cell, size of L1 data cache in bytes |
| 858 | - i-cache-size : one cell, size of L1 instruction cache in bytes |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 859 | |
| 860 | Recommended properties: |
| 861 | |
| 862 | - timebase-frequency : a cell indicating the frequency of the |
| 863 | timebase in Hz. This is not directly used by the generic code, |
| 864 | but you are welcome to copy/paste the pSeries code for setting |
| 865 | the kernel timebase/decrementer calibration based on this |
| 866 | value. |
| 867 | - clock-frequency : a cell indicating the CPU core clock frequency |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 868 | in Hz. A new property will be defined for 64-bit values, but if |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 869 | your frequency is < 4Ghz, one cell is enough. Here as well as |
| 870 | for the above, the common code doesn't use that property, but |
| 871 | you are welcome to re-use the pSeries or Maple one. A future |
| 872 | kernel version might provide a common function for this. |
| 873 | |
| 874 | You are welcome to add any property you find relevant to your board, |
| 875 | like some information about the mechanism used to soft-reset the |
| 876 | CPUs. For example, Apple puts the GPIO number for CPU soft reset |
| 877 | lines in there as a "soft-reset" property since they start secondary |
| 878 | CPUs by soft-resetting them. |
| 879 | |
| 880 | |
| 881 | d) the /memory node(s) |
| 882 | |
| 883 | To define the physical memory layout of your board, you should |
| 884 | create one or more memory node(s). You can either create a single |
| 885 | node with all memory ranges in its reg property, or you can create |
| 886 | several nodes, as you wish. The unit address (@ part) used for the |
| 887 | full path is the address of the first range of memory defined by a |
| 888 | given node. If you use a single memory node, this will typically be |
| 889 | @0. |
| 890 | |
| 891 | Required properties: |
| 892 | |
| 893 | - device_type : has to be "memory" |
| 894 | - reg : This property contains all the physical memory ranges of |
| 895 | your board. It's a list of addresses/sizes concatenated |
| 896 | together, with the number of cells of each defined by the |
| 897 | #address-cells and #size-cells of the root node. For example, |
Matt LaPlante | 6c28f2c | 2006-10-03 22:46:31 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 898 | with both of these properties being 2 like in the example given |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 899 | earlier, a 970 based machine with 6Gb of RAM could typically |
| 900 | have a "reg" property here that looks like: |
| 901 | |
| 902 | 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000000 |
| 903 | 00000001 00000000 00000001 00000000 |
| 904 | |
| 905 | That is a range starting at 0 of 0x80000000 bytes and a range |
| 906 | starting at 0x100000000 and of 0x100000000 bytes. You can see |
| 907 | that there is no memory covering the IO hole between 2Gb and |
| 908 | 4Gb. Some vendors prefer splitting those ranges into smaller |
| 909 | segments, but the kernel doesn't care. |
| 910 | |
| 911 | e) The /chosen node |
| 912 | |
| 913 | This node is a bit "special". Normally, that's where open firmware |
| 914 | puts some variable environment information, like the arguments, or |
Stuart Yoder | d1bff9e | 2007-02-19 11:25:05 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 915 | the default input/output devices. |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 916 | |
| 917 | This specification makes a few of these mandatory, but also defines |
| 918 | some linux-specific properties that would be normally constructed by |
| 919 | the prom_init() trampoline when booting with an OF client interface, |
| 920 | but that you have to provide yourself when using the flattened format. |
| 921 | |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 922 | Recommended properties: |
| 923 | |
| 924 | - bootargs : This zero-terminated string is passed as the kernel |
| 925 | command line |
| 926 | - linux,stdout-path : This is the full path to your standard |
| 927 | console device if any. Typically, if you have serial devices on |
| 928 | your board, you may want to put the full path to the one set as |
| 929 | the default console in the firmware here, for the kernel to pick |
Matt LaPlante | 5d3f083 | 2006-11-30 05:21:10 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 930 | it up as its own default console. If you look at the function |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 931 | set_preferred_console() in arch/ppc64/kernel/setup.c, you'll see |
| 932 | that the kernel tries to find out the default console and has |
| 933 | knowledge of various types like 8250 serial ports. You may want |
| 934 | to extend this function to add your own. |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 935 | |
| 936 | Note that u-boot creates and fills in the chosen node for platforms |
| 937 | that use it. |
| 938 | |
Stuart Yoder | d1bff9e | 2007-02-19 11:25:05 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 939 | (Note: a practice that is now obsolete was to include a property |
| 940 | under /chosen called interrupt-controller which had a phandle value |
| 941 | that pointed to the main interrupt controller) |
| 942 | |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 943 | f) the /soc<SOCname> node |
| 944 | |
| 945 | This node is used to represent a system-on-a-chip (SOC) and must be |
| 946 | present if the processor is a SOC. The top-level soc node contains |
| 947 | information that is global to all devices on the SOC. The node name |
| 948 | should contain a unit address for the SOC, which is the base address |
| 949 | of the memory-mapped register set for the SOC. The name of an soc |
| 950 | node should start with "soc", and the remainder of the name should |
| 951 | represent the part number for the soc. For example, the MPC8540's |
| 952 | soc node would be called "soc8540". |
| 953 | |
| 954 | Required properties: |
| 955 | |
| 956 | - device_type : Should be "soc" |
| 957 | - ranges : Should be defined as specified in 1) to describe the |
| 958 | translation of SOC addresses for memory mapped SOC registers. |
Becky Bruce | 7d4b95a | 2006-02-06 14:26:31 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 959 | - bus-frequency: Contains the bus frequency for the SOC node. |
| 960 | Typically, the value of this field is filled in by the boot |
| 961 | loader. |
| 962 | |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 963 | |
| 964 | Recommended properties: |
| 965 | |
| 966 | - reg : This property defines the address and size of the |
| 967 | memory-mapped registers that are used for the SOC node itself. |
| 968 | It does not include the child device registers - these will be |
| 969 | defined inside each child node. The address specified in the |
| 970 | "reg" property should match the unit address of the SOC node. |
| 971 | - #address-cells : Address representation for "soc" devices. The |
| 972 | format of this field may vary depending on whether or not the |
| 973 | device registers are memory mapped. For memory mapped |
| 974 | registers, this field represents the number of cells needed to |
| 975 | represent the address of the registers. For SOCs that do not |
| 976 | use MMIO, a special address format should be defined that |
| 977 | contains enough cells to represent the required information. |
| 978 | See 1) above for more details on defining #address-cells. |
| 979 | - #size-cells : Size representation for "soc" devices |
| 980 | - #interrupt-cells : Defines the width of cells used to represent |
| 981 | interrupts. Typically this value is <2>, which includes a |
| 982 | 32-bit number that represents the interrupt number, and a |
| 983 | 32-bit number that represents the interrupt sense and level. |
| 984 | This field is only needed if the SOC contains an interrupt |
| 985 | controller. |
| 986 | |
| 987 | The SOC node may contain child nodes for each SOC device that the |
| 988 | platform uses. Nodes should not be created for devices which exist |
| 989 | on the SOC but are not used by a particular platform. See chapter VI |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 990 | for more information on how to specify devices that are part of a SOC. |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 991 | |
| 992 | Example SOC node for the MPC8540: |
| 993 | |
| 994 | soc8540@e0000000 { |
| 995 | #address-cells = <1>; |
| 996 | #size-cells = <1>; |
| 997 | #interrupt-cells = <2>; |
| 998 | device_type = "soc"; |
| 999 | ranges = <00000000 e0000000 00100000> |
| 1000 | reg = <e0000000 00003000>; |
Becky Bruce | 7d4b95a | 2006-02-06 14:26:31 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 1001 | bus-frequency = <0>; |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 1002 | } |

| 1004 | |
| 1005 | |
| 1006 | IV - "dtc", the device tree compiler |
| 1007 | ==================================== |
| 1008 | |
| 1009 | |
| 1010 | dtc source code can be found at |
| 1011 | <http://ozlabs.org/~dgibson/dtc/dtc.tar.gz> |
| 1012 | |
| 1013 | WARNING: This version is still in early development stage; the |
| 1014 | resulting device-tree "blobs" have not yet been validated with the |
| 1015 | kernel. The current generated bloc lacks a useful reserve map (it will |
| 1016 | be fixed to generate an empty one, it's up to the bootloader to fill |
| 1017 | it up) among others. The error handling needs work, bugs are lurking, |
| 1018 | etc... |
| 1019 | |
| 1020 | dtc basically takes a device-tree in a given format and outputs a |
| 1021 | device-tree in another format. The currently supported formats are: |
| 1022 | |
| 1023 | Input formats: |
| 1024 | ------------- |
| 1025 | |
| 1026 | - "dtb": "blob" format, that is a flattened device-tree block |
| 1027 | with |
| 1028 | header all in a binary blob. |
| 1029 | - "dts": "source" format. This is a text file containing a |
| 1030 | "source" for a device-tree. The format is defined later in this |
| 1031 | chapter. |
| 1032 | - "fs" format. This is a representation equivalent to the |
| 1033 | output of /proc/device-tree, that is nodes are directories and |
| 1034 | properties are files |
| 1035 | |
| 1036 | Output formats: |
| 1037 | --------------- |
| 1038 | |
| 1039 | - "dtb": "blob" format |
| 1040 | - "dts": "source" format |
| 1041 | - "asm": assembly language file. This is a file that can be |
| 1042 | sourced by gas to generate a device-tree "blob". That file can |
| 1043 | then simply be added to your Makefile. Additionally, the |
Matt LaPlante | 6c28f2c | 2006-10-03 22:46:31 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1044 | assembly file exports some symbols that can be used. |

| 1064 | } |

| 1066 | The above is the "device-tree" definition. It's the only statement |
| 1067 | supported currently at the toplevel. |

| 1101 | |
| 1102 | Strings support common escape sequences from C: "\n", "\t", "\r", |
| 1103 | "\(octal value)", "\x(hex value)". |
| 1104 | |
| 1105 | It is also suggested that you pipe your source file through cpp (gcc |
| 1106 | preprocessor) so you can use #include's, #define for constants, etc... |
| 1107 | |
| 1108 | Finally, various options are planned but not yet implemented, like |
| 1109 | automatic generation of phandles, labels (exported to the asm file so |
| 1110 | you can point to a property content and change it easily from whatever |
| 1111 | you link the device-tree with), label or path instead of numeric value |
| 1112 | in some cells to "point" to a node (replaced by a phandle at compile |
| 1113 | time), export of reserve map address to the asm file, ability to |
| 1114 | specify reserve map content at compile time, etc... |
| 1115 | |
| 1116 | We may provide a .h include file with common definitions of that |
| 1117 | proves useful for some properties (like building PCI properties or |
| 1118 | interrupt maps) though it may be better to add a notion of struct |
| 1119 | definitions to the compiler... |

| 1122 | V - Recommendations for a bootloader |
| 1123 | ==================================== |
| 1124 | |
| 1125 | |
| 1126 | Here are some various ideas/recommendations that have been proposed |
| 1127 | while all this has been defined and implemented. |
| 1128 | |
| 1129 | - The bootloader may want to be able to use the device-tree itself |
| 1130 | and may want to manipulate it (to add/edit some properties, |
| 1131 | like physical memory size or kernel arguments). At this point, 2 |
| 1132 | choices can be made. Either the bootloader works directly on the |
| 1133 | flattened format, or the bootloader has its own internal tree |
| 1134 | representation with pointers (similar to the kernel one) and |
| 1135 | re-flattens the tree when booting the kernel. The former is a bit |
| 1136 | more difficult to edit/modify, the later requires probably a bit |
| 1137 | more code to handle the tree structure. Note that the structure |
| 1138 | format has been designed so it's relatively easy to "insert" |
| 1139 | properties or nodes or delete them by just memmoving things |
| 1140 | around. It contains no internal offsets or pointers for this |
| 1141 | purpose. |
| 1142 | |

David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 1147 | early_init_dt_scan_*() callbacks. That code can be re-used in a |
| 1148 | GPL bootloader, and as the author of that code, I would be happy |

| 1151 | |
| 1152 | |
| 1153 | |
| 1154 | VI - System-on-a-chip devices and nodes |
| 1155 | ======================================= |
| 1156 | |
| 1157 | Many companies are now starting to develop system-on-a-chip |
Domen Puncer | 5dd6016 | 2007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 1158 | processors, where the processor core (CPU) and many peripheral devices |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 1159 | exist on a single piece of silicon. For these SOCs, an SOC node |
| 1160 | should be used that defines child nodes for the devices that make |
| 1161 | up the SOC. While platforms are not required to use this model in |
| 1162 | order to boot the kernel, it is highly encouraged that all SOC |
| 1163 | implementations define as complete a flat-device-tree as possible to |
| 1164 | describe the devices on the SOC. This will allow for the |
| 1165 | genericization of much of the kernel code. |
| 1166 | |
| 1167 | |
| 1168 | 1) Defining child nodes of an SOC |
| 1169 | --------------------------------- |
| 1170 | |
| 1171 | Each device that is part of an SOC may have its own node entry inside |
| 1172 | the SOC node. For each device that is included in the SOC, the unit |
| 1173 | address property represents the address offset for this device's |
| 1174 | memory-mapped registers in the parent's address space. The parent's |
| 1175 | address space is defined by the "ranges" property in the top-level soc |
| 1176 | node. The "reg" property for each node that exists directly under the |
| 1177 | SOC node should contain the address mapping from the child address space |
| 1178 | to the parent SOC address space and the size of the device's |
| 1179 | memory-mapped register file. |
| 1180 | |
| 1181 | For many devices that may exist inside an SOC, there are predefined |
| 1182 | specifications for the format of the device tree node. All SOC child |
| 1183 | nodes should follow these specifications, except where noted in this |
| 1184 | document. |
| 1185 | |
| 1186 | See appendix A for an example partial SOC node definition for the |
| 1187 | MPC8540. |
| 1188 | |
| 1189 | |
Stuart Yoder | 2756590 | 2007-03-02 13:42:33 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 1190 | 2) Representing devices without a current OF specification |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 1191 | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1192 | |
| 1193 | Currently, there are many devices on SOCs that do not have a standard |
| 1194 | representation pre-defined as part of the open firmware |
| 1195 | specifications, mainly because the boards that contain these SOCs are |
| 1196 | not currently booted using open firmware. This section contains |
| 1197 | descriptions for the SOC devices for which new nodes have been |
| 1198 | defined; this list will expand as more and more SOC-containing |
| 1199 | platforms are moved over to use the flattened-device-tree model. |
| 1200 | |
| 1201 | a) MDIO IO device |
| 1202 | |
| 1203 | The MDIO is a bus to which the PHY devices are connected. For each |
| 1204 | device that exists on this bus, a child node should be created. See |
| 1205 | the definition of the PHY node below for an example of how to define |
| 1206 | a PHY. |
| 1207 | |
| 1208 | Required properties: |
| 1209 | - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device |
| 1210 | - device_type : Should be "mdio" |
| 1211 | - compatible : Should define the compatible device type for the |
| 1212 | mdio. Currently, this is most likely to be "gianfar" |
| 1213 | |
| 1214 | Example: |
| 1215 | |
| 1216 | mdio@24520 { |
| 1217 | reg = <24520 20>; |
Becky Bruce | 7d4b95a | 2006-02-06 14:26:31 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 1218 | device_type = "mdio"; |
| 1219 | compatible = "gianfar"; |

| 1222 | ...... |
| 1223 | }; |
| 1224 | }; |
| 1225 | |
| 1226 | |
| 1227 | b) Gianfar-compatible ethernet nodes |
| 1228 | |
| 1229 | Required properties: |
| 1230 | |
| 1231 | - device_type : Should be "network" |
| 1232 | - model : Model of the device. Can be "TSEC", "eTSEC", or "FEC" |
| 1233 | - compatible : Should be "gianfar" |
| 1234 | - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device |

David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 1236 | this controller |
| 1237 | - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a |
| 1238 | field that represents an encoding of the sense and level |
| 1239 | information for the interrupt. This should be encoded based on |
| 1240 | the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt |
| 1241 | controller you have. |
| 1242 | - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that |
| 1243 | services interrupts for this device. |
| 1244 | - phy-handle : The phandle for the PHY connected to this ethernet |
| 1245 | controller. |
| 1246 | |
Scott Wood | e0a2f28 | 2007-03-16 12:28:46 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1247 | Recommended properties: |
| 1248 | |
| 1249 | - linux,network-index : This is the intended "index" of this |
| 1250 | network device. This is used by the bootwrapper to interpret |
| 1251 | MAC addresses passed by the firmware when no information other |
| 1252 | than indices is available to associate an address with a device. |
Andy Fleming | cc65185 | 2007-07-10 17:28:49 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1253 | - phy-connection-type : a string naming the controller/PHY interface type, |
| 1254 | i.e., "mii" (default), "rmii", "gmii", "rgmii", "rgmii-id", "sgmii", |
| 1255 | "tbi", or "rtbi". This property is only really needed if the connection |
| 1256 | is of type "rgmii-id", as all other connection types are detected by |
| 1257 | hardware. |
| 1258 | |
Scott Wood | e0a2f28 | 2007-03-16 12:28:46 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1259 | |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 1260 | Example: |
| 1261 | |
| 1262 | ethernet@24000 { |
| 1263 | #size-cells = <0>; |
| 1264 | device_type = "network"; |
| 1265 | model = "TSEC"; |
| 1266 | compatible = "gianfar"; |
| 1267 | reg = <24000 1000>; |
Jon Loeliger | f583165 | 2006-08-17 08:42:35 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1268 | mac-address = [ 00 E0 0C 00 73 00 ]; |
David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 1269 | interrupts = <d 3 e 3 12 3>; |
| 1270 | interrupt-parent = <40000>; |
| 1271 | phy-handle = <2452000> |
| 1272 | }; |
| 1273 | |
| 1274 | |
| 1275 | |
| 1276 | c) PHY nodes |
| 1277 | |
| 1278 | Required properties: |
| 1279 | |
| 1280 | - device_type : Should be "ethernet-phy" |
| 1281 | - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a |
| 1282 | field that represents an encoding of the sense and level |
| 1283 | information for the interrupt. This should be encoded based on |
| 1284 | the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt |
| 1285 | controller you have. |
| 1286 | - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that |
| 1287 | services interrupts for this device. |
| 1288 | - reg : The ID number for the phy, usually a small integer |
| 1289 | - linux,phandle : phandle for this node; likely referenced by an |
| 1290 | ethernet controller node. |
| 1291 | |
| 1292 | |
| 1293 | Example: |
| 1294 | |
| 1295 | ethernet-phy@0 { |
| 1296 | linux,phandle = <2452000> |
| 1297 | interrupt-parent = <40000>; |
| 1298 | interrupts = <35 1>; |
| 1299 | reg = <0>; |
| 1300 | device_type = "ethernet-phy"; |
| 1301 | }; |
| 1302 | |
| 1303 | |
| 1304 | d) Interrupt controllers |
| 1305 | |
| 1306 | Some SOC devices contain interrupt controllers that are different |
| 1307 | from the standard Open PIC specification. The SOC device nodes for |
| 1308 | these types of controllers should be specified just like a standard |
| 1309 | OpenPIC controller. Sense and level information should be encoded |
| 1310 | as specified in section 2) of this chapter for each device that |
| 1311 | specifies an interrupt. |
| 1312 | |
| 1313 | Example : |
| 1314 | |
| 1315 | pic@40000 { |
| 1316 | linux,phandle = <40000>; |
| 1317 | clock-frequency = <0>; |
| 1318 | interrupt-controller; |
| 1319 | #address-cells = <0>; |
| 1320 | reg = <40000 40000>; |
| 1321 | built-in; |
| 1322 | compatible = "chrp,open-pic"; |
| 1323 | device_type = "open-pic"; |
| 1324 | big-endian; |
| 1325 | }; |
| 1326 | |
| 1327 | |
| 1328 | e) I2C |
| 1329 | |
| 1330 | Required properties : |
| 1331 | |
| 1332 | - device_type : Should be "i2c" |
| 1333 | - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device |
| 1334 | |
| 1335 | Recommended properties : |
| 1336 | |
| 1337 | - compatible : Should be "fsl-i2c" for parts compatible with |
| 1338 | Freescale I2C specifications. |
| 1339 | - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a |
| 1340 | field that represents an encoding of the sense and level |
| 1341 | information for the interrupt. This should be encoded based on |
| 1342 | the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt |
| 1343 | controller you have. |
| 1344 | - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that |
| 1345 | services interrupts for this device. |
| 1346 | - dfsrr : boolean; if defined, indicates that this I2C device has |
| 1347 | a digital filter sampling rate register |
| 1348 | - fsl5200-clocking : boolean; if defined, indicated that this device |
| 1349 | uses the FSL 5200 clocking mechanism. |
| 1350 | |
| 1351 | Example : |
| 1352 | |
| 1353 | i2c@3000 { |
| 1354 | interrupt-parent = <40000>; |
| 1355 | interrupts = <1b 3>; |
| 1356 | reg = <3000 18>; |
| 1357 | device_type = "i2c"; |
| 1358 | compatible = "fsl-i2c"; |
| 1359 | dfsrr; |
| 1360 | }; |
| 1361 | |
| 1362 | |

| 1364 | |
| 1365 | The device node for a USB controller that is part of a Freescale |
| 1366 | SOC is as described in the document "Open Firmware Recommended |
| 1367 | Practice : Universal Serial Bus" with the following modifications |

| 1376 | - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device |
| 1377 | - port0 : boolean; if defined, indicates port0 is connected for |
| 1378 | fsl-usb2-mph compatible controllers. Either this property or |
| 1379 | "port1" (or both) must be defined for "fsl-usb2-mph" compatible |
| 1380 | controllers. |
| 1381 | - port1 : boolean; if defined, indicates port1 is connected for |
| 1382 | fsl-usb2-mph compatible controllers. Either this property or |

Scott Wood | 15f8c60 | 2007-09-28 14:06:16 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2018 | viii) Multi-User RAM (MURAM) |
| 2019 | |
| 2020 | The multi-user/dual-ported RAM is expressed as a bus under the CPM node. |
| 2021 | |
| 2022 | Ranges must be set up subject to the following restrictions: |
| 2023 | |
| 2024 | - Children's reg nodes must be offsets from the start of all muram, even |
| 2025 | if the user-data area does not begin at zero. |
| 2026 | - If multiple range entries are used, the difference between the parent |
| 2027 | address and the child address must be the same in all, so that a single |
| 2028 | mapping can cover them all while maintaining the ability to determine |
| 2029 | CPM-side offsets with pointer subtraction. It is recommended that |
| 2030 | multiple range entries not be used. |
| 2031 | - A child address of zero must be translatable, even if no reg resources |
| 2032 | contain it. |
| 2033 | |
| 2034 | A child "data" node must exist, compatible with "fsl,cpm-muram-data", to |
| 2035 | indicate the portion of muram that is usable by the OS for arbitrary |
| 2036 | purposes. The data node may have an arbitrary number of reg resources, |
| 2037 | all of which contribute to the allocatable muram pool. |
| 2038 | |
| 2039 | Example, based on mpc8272: |
| 2040 | |
| 2041 | muram@0 { |
| 2042 | #address-cells = <1>; |
| 2043 | #size-cells = <1>; |
| 2044 | ranges = <0 0 10000>; |

| 2092 | The EMAC ethernet controller in IBM and AMCC 4xx chips, and also |
| 2093 | the Axon bridge. To operate this needs to interact with a ths |
| 2094 | special McMAL DMA controller, and sometimes an RGMII or ZMII |
| 2095 | interface. In addition to the nodes and properties described |
| 2096 | below, the node for the OPB bus on which the EMAC sits must have a |
| 2097 | correct clock-frequency property. |
| 2098 | |
| 2099 | i) The EMAC node itself |
| 2100 | |

| 2103 | |
| 2104 | - compatible : compatible list, contains 2 entries, first is |
| 2105 | "ibm,emac-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (440gx, |
| 2106 | 405gp, Axon) and second is either "ibm,emac" or |
| 2107 | "ibm,emac4". For Axon, thus, we have: "ibm,emac-axon", |
| 2108 | "ibm,emac4" |

| 2113 | - mal-device : phandle of the associated McMAL node |
| 2114 | - mal-tx-channel : 1 cell, index of the tx channel on McMAL associated |
| 2115 | with this EMAC |
| 2116 | - mal-rx-channel : 1 cell, index of the rx channel on McMAL associated |
| 2117 | with this EMAC |
| 2118 | - cell-index : 1 cell, hardware index of the EMAC cell on a given |
| 2119 | ASIC (typically 0x0 and 0x1 for EMAC0 and EMAC1 on |
| 2120 | each Axon chip) |
| 2121 | - max-frame-size : 1 cell, maximum frame size supported in bytes |
| 2122 | - rx-fifo-size : 1 cell, Rx fifo size in bytes for 10 and 100 Mb/sec |
| 2123 | operations. |
| 2124 | For Axon, 2048 |
| 2125 | - tx-fifo-size : 1 cell, Tx fifo size in bytes for 10 and 100 Mb/sec |
| 2126 | operations. |
| 2127 | For Axon, 2048. |
| 2128 | - fifo-entry-size : 1 cell, size of a fifo entry (used to calculate |
| 2129 | thresholds). |
| 2130 | For Axon, 0x00000010 |
| 2131 | - mal-burst-size : 1 cell, MAL burst size (used to calculate thresholds) |
| 2132 | in bytes. |
| 2133 | For Axon, 0x00000100 (I think ...) |

| 2135 | Supported values are: "mii", "rmii", "smii", "rgmii", |
| 2136 | "tbi", "gmii", rtbi", "sgmii". |
| 2137 | For Axon on CAB, it is "rgmii" |
| 2138 | - mdio-device : 1 cell, required iff using shared MDIO registers |
| 2139 | (440EP). phandle of the EMAC to use to drive the |
| 2140 | MDIO lines for the PHY used by this EMAC. |
| 2141 | - zmii-device : 1 cell, required iff connected to a ZMII. phandle of |
| 2142 | the ZMII device node |
| 2143 | - zmii-channel : 1 cell, required iff connected to a ZMII. Which ZMII |
| 2144 | channel or 0xffffffff if ZMII is only used for MDIO. |
| 2145 | - rgmii-device : 1 cell, required iff connected to an RGMII. phandle |
| 2146 | of the RGMII device node. |
| 2147 | For Axon: phandle of plb5/plb4/opb/rgmii |
| 2148 | - rgmii-channel : 1 cell, required iff connected to an RGMII. Which |
| 2149 | RGMII channel is used by this EMAC. |
| 2150 | Fox Axon: present, whatever value is appropriate for each |
| 2151 | EMAC, that is the content of the current (bogus) "phy-port" |
| 2152 | property. |
| 2153 | |
| 2154 | Recommended properties: |
| 2155 | - linux,network-index : This is the intended "index" of this |
| 2156 | network device. This is used by the bootwrapper to interpret |
| 2157 | MAC addresses passed by the firmware when no information other |
| 2158 | than indices is available to associate an address with a device. |
| 2159 | |
| 2160 | Optional properties: |
| 2161 | - phy-address : 1 cell, optional, MDIO address of the PHY. If absent, |
| 2162 | a search is performed. |
| 2163 | - phy-map : 1 cell, optional, bitmap of addresses to probe the PHY |
| 2164 | for, used if phy-address is absent. bit 0x00000001 is |
| 2165 | MDIO address 0. |
| 2166 | For Axon it can be absent, thouugh my current driver |
| 2167 | doesn't handle phy-address yet so for now, keep |
| 2168 | 0x00ffffff in it. |
| 2169 | - rx-fifo-size-gige : 1 cell, Rx fifo size in bytes for 1000 Mb/sec |
| 2170 | operations (if absent the value is the same as |
| 2171 | rx-fifo-size). For Axon, either absent or 2048. |
| 2172 | - tx-fifo-size-gige : 1 cell, Tx fifo size in bytes for 1000 Mb/sec |
| 2173 | operations (if absent the value is the same as |
| 2174 | tx-fifo-size). For Axon, either absent or 2048. |
| 2175 | - tah-device : 1 cell, optional. If connected to a TAH engine for |
| 2176 | offload, phandle of the TAH device node. |
| 2177 | - tah-channel : 1 cell, optional. If appropriate, channel used on the |
| 2178 | TAH engine. |
| 2179 | |
| 2180 | Example: |
| 2181 | |
| 2182 | EMAC0: ethernet@40000800 { |
| 2183 | linux,network-index = <0>; |
| 2184 | device_type = "network"; |

| 2201 | }; |
| 2202 | |
| 2203 | ii) McMAL node |
| 2204 | |
| 2205 | Required properties: |
| 2206 | - device_type : "dma-controller" |
| 2207 | - compatible : compatible list, containing 2 entries, first is |
| 2208 | "ibm,mcmal-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (like |
| 2209 | emac) and the second is either "ibm,mcmal" or |
| 2210 | "ibm,mcmal2". |
| 2211 | For Axon, "ibm,mcmal-axon","ibm,mcmal2" |
| 2212 | - interrupts : <interrupt mapping for the MAL interrupts sources: |
| 2213 | 5 sources: tx_eob, rx_eob, serr, txde, rxde>. |
| 2214 | For Axon: This is _different_ from the current |
| 2215 | firmware. We use the "delayed" interrupts for txeob |
| 2216 | and rxeob. Thus we end up with mapping those 5 MPIC |
| 2217 | interrupts, all level positive sensitive: 10, 11, 32, |
| 2218 | 33, 34 (in decimal) |
| 2219 | - dcr-reg : < DCR registers range > |
| 2220 | - dcr-parent : if needed for dcr-reg |
| 2221 | - num-tx-chans : 1 cell, number of Tx channels |
| 2222 | - num-rx-chans : 1 cell, number of Rx channels |

Stuart Yoder | 2756590 | 2007-03-02 13:42:33 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 2247 | VII - Specifying interrupt information for devices |
| 2248 | =================================================== |
| 2249 | |
| 2250 | The device tree represents the busses and devices of a hardware |
| 2251 | system in a form similar to the physical bus topology of the |
| 2252 | hardware. |
| 2253 | |
| 2254 | In addition, a logical 'interrupt tree' exists which represents the |
| 2255 | hierarchy and routing of interrupts in the hardware. |
| 2256 | |
| 2257 | The interrupt tree model is fully described in the |
| 2258 | document "Open Firmware Recommended Practice: Interrupt |
| 2259 | Mapping Version 0.9". The document is available at: |
| 2260 | <http://playground.sun.com/1275/practice>. |
| 2261 | |
| 2262 | 1) interrupts property |
| 2263 | ---------------------- |
| 2264 | |
| 2265 | Devices that generate interrupts to a single interrupt controller |
| 2266 | should use the conventional OF representation described in the |
| 2267 | OF interrupt mapping documentation. |
| 2268 | |
| 2269 | Each device which generates interrupts must have an 'interrupt' |
| 2270 | property. The interrupt property value is an arbitrary number of |
| 2271 | of 'interrupt specifier' values which describe the interrupt or |
| 2272 | interrupts for the device. |
| 2273 | |
| 2274 | The encoding of an interrupt specifier is determined by the |
| 2275 | interrupt domain in which the device is located in the |
| 2276 | interrupt tree. The root of an interrupt domain specifies in |
| 2277 | its #interrupt-cells property the number of 32-bit cells |
| 2278 | required to encode an interrupt specifier. See the OF interrupt |
| 2279 | mapping documentation for a detailed description of domains. |
| 2280 | |
| 2281 | For example, the binding for the OpenPIC interrupt controller |
| 2282 | specifies an #interrupt-cells value of 2 to encode the interrupt |
| 2283 | number and level/sense information. All interrupt children in an |
| 2284 | OpenPIC interrupt domain use 2 cells per interrupt in their interrupts |
| 2285 | property. |
| 2286 | |
| 2287 | The PCI bus binding specifies a #interrupt-cell value of 1 to encode |
| 2288 | which interrupt pin (INTA,INTB,INTC,INTD) is used. |
| 2289 | |
| 2290 | 2) interrupt-parent property |
| 2291 | ---------------------------- |
| 2292 | |
| 2293 | The interrupt-parent property is specified to define an explicit |
| 2294 | link between a device node and its interrupt parent in |
| 2295 | the interrupt tree. The value of interrupt-parent is the |
| 2296 | phandle of the parent node. |
| 2297 | |
| 2298 | If the interrupt-parent property is not defined for a node, it's |
| 2299 | interrupt parent is assumed to be an ancestor in the node's |
| 2300 | _device tree_ hierarchy. |
| 2301 | |
| 2302 | 3) OpenPIC Interrupt Controllers |
| 2303 | -------------------------------- |
| 2304 | |
| 2305 | OpenPIC interrupt controllers require 2 cells to encode |
| 2306 | interrupt information. The first cell defines the interrupt |
| 2307 | number. The second cell defines the sense and level |
| 2308 | information. |
| 2309 | |
| 2310 | Sense and level information should be encoded as follows: |
| 2311 | |
| 2312 | 0 = low to high edge sensitive type enabled |
| 2313 | 1 = active low level sensitive type enabled |
| 2314 | 2 = active high level sensitive type enabled |
| 2315 | 3 = high to low edge sensitive type enabled |
| 2316 | |
| 2317 | 4) ISA Interrupt Controllers |
| 2318 | ---------------------------- |
| 2319 | |
| 2320 | ISA PIC interrupt controllers require 2 cells to encode |
| 2321 | interrupt information. The first cell defines the interrupt |
| 2322 | number. The second cell defines the sense and level |
| 2323 | information. |
| 2324 | |
| 2325 | ISA PIC interrupt controllers should adhere to the ISA PIC |
| 2326 | encodings listed below: |
| 2327 | |
| 2328 | 0 = active low level sensitive type enabled |
| 2329 | 1 = active high level sensitive type enabled |
| 2330 | 2 = high to low edge sensitive type enabled |
| 2331 | 3 = low to high edge sensitive type enabled |
| 2332 | |
