| I - Introduction |
| ================ |
| Boards supported by the arch/powerpc architecture require device tree be |
| passed by the boot loader to the kernel at boot time. The device tree |
| describes what devices are present on the board and how they are |
| connected. The device tree can either be passed as a binary blob (as |
| described in Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt), or passed |
| by Open Firmare (IEEE 1275) compatible firmware using an OF compatible |
| client interface API. |
| |
| This document specifies the requirements on the device-tree for mpc52xx |
| based boards. These requirements are above and beyond the details |
| specified in either the OpenFirmware spec or booting-without-of.txt |
| |
| All new mpc52xx-based boards are expected to match this document. In |
| cases where this document is not sufficient to support a new board port, |
| this document should be updated as part of adding the new board support. |
| |
| II - Philosophy |
| =============== |
| The core of this document is naming convention. The whole point of |
| defining this convention is to reduce or eliminate the number of |
| special cases required to support a 52xx board. If all 52xx boards |
| follow the same convention, then generic 52xx support code will work |
| rather than coding special cases for each new board. |
| |
| This section tries to capture the thought process behind why the naming |
| convention is what it is. |
| |
| 1. Node names |
| ------------- |
| There is strong convention/requirements already established for children |
| of the root node. 'cpus' describes the processor cores, 'memory' |
| describes memory, and 'chosen' provides boot configuration. Other nodes |
| are added to describe devices attached to the processor local bus. |
| Following convention already established with other system-on-chip |
| processors, MPC52xx boards must have an 'soc5200' node as a child of the |
| root node. |
| |
| The soc5200 node holds child nodes for all on chip devices. Child nodes |
| are typically named after the configured function. ie. the FEC node is |
| named 'ethernet', and a PSC in uart mode is named 'serial'. |
| |
| 2. device_type property |
| ----------------------- |
| similar to the node name convention above; the device_type reflects the |
| configured function of a device. ie. 'serial' for a uart and 'spi' for |
| an spi controller. However, while node names *should* reflect the |
| configured function, device_type *must* match the configured function |
| exactly. |
| |
| 3. compatible property |
| ---------------------- |
| Since device_type isn't enough to match devices to drivers, there also |
| needs to be a naming convention for the compatible property. Compatible |
| is an list of device descriptions sorted from specific to generic. For |
| the mpc52xx, the required format for each compatible value is |
| <chip>-<device>[-<mode>]. At the minimum, the list shall contain two |
| items; the first specifying the exact chip, and the second specifying |
| mpc52xx for the chip. |
| |
| ie. ethernet on mpc5200b: compatible = "mpc5200b-ethernet\0mpc52xx-ethernet" |
| |
| The idea here is that most drivers will match to the most generic field |
| in the compatible list (mpc52xx-*), but can also test the more specific |
| field for enabling bug fixes or extra features. |
| |
| Modal devices, like PSCs, also append the configured function to the |
| end of the compatible field. ie. A PSC in i2s mode would specify |
| "mpc52xx-psc-i2s", not "mpc52xx-i2s". This convention is chosen to |
| avoid naming conflicts with non-psc devices providing the same |
| function. For example, "mpc52xx-spi" and "mpc52xx-psc-spi" describe |
| the mpc5200 simple spi device and a PSC spi mode respectively. |
| |
| If the soc device is more generic and present on other SOCs, the |
| compatible property can specify the more generic device type also. |
| |
| ie. mscan: compatible = "mpc5200-mscan\0mpc52xx-mscan\0fsl,mscan"; |
| |
| At the time of writing, exact chip may be either 'mpc5200' or |
| 'mpc5200b'. |
| |
| Device drivers should always try to match as generically as possible. |
| |
| III - Structure |
| =============== |
| The device tree for an mpc52xx board follows the structure defined in |
| booting-without-of.txt with the following additional notes: |
| |
| 0) the root node |
| ---------------- |
| Typical root description node; see booting-without-of |
| |
| 1) The cpus node |
| ---------------- |
| The cpus node follows the basic layout described in booting-without-of. |
| The bus-frequency property holds the XLB bus frequency |
| The clock-frequency property holds the core frequency |
| |
| 2) The memory node |
| ------------------ |
| Typical memory description node; see booting-without-of. |
| |
| 3) The soc5200 node |
| ------------------- |
| This node describes the on chip SOC peripherals. Every mpc52xx based |
| board will have this node, and as such there is a common naming |
| convention for SOC devices. |
| |
| Required properties: |
| name type description |
| ---- ---- ----------- |
| device_type string must be "soc" |
| ranges int should be <0 baseaddr baseaddr+10000> |
| reg int must be <baseaddr 10000> |
| |
| Recommended properties: |
| name type description |
| ---- ---- ----------- |
| compatible string should be "<chip>-soc\0mpc52xx-soc" |
| ie. "mpc5200b-soc\0mpc52xx-soc" |
| #interrupt-cells int must be <3>. If it is not defined |
| here then it must be defined in every |
| soc device node. |
| bus-frequency int IPB bus frequency in HZ. Clock rate |
| used by most of the soc devices. |
| Defining it here avoids needing it |
| added to every device node. |
| |
| 4) soc5200 child nodes |
| ---------------------- |
| Any on chip SOC devices available to Linux must appear as soc5200 child nodes. |
| |
| Note: in the tables below, '*' matches all <chip> values. ie. |
| *-pic would translate to "mpc5200-pic\0mpc52xx-pic" |
| |
| Required soc5200 child nodes: |
| name device_type compatible Description |
| ---- ----------- ---------- ----------- |
| cdm@<addr> cdm *-cmd Clock Distribution |
| pic@<addr> interrupt-controller *-pic need an interrupt |
| controller to boot |
| bestcomm@<addr> dma-controller *-bestcomm 52xx pic also requires |
| the bestcomm device |
| |
| Recommended soc5200 child nodes; populate as needed for your board |
| name device_type compatible Description |
| ---- ----------- ---------- ----------- |
| gpt@<addr> gpt *-gpt General purpose timers |
| rtc@<addr> rtc *-rtc Real time clock |
| mscan@<addr> mscan *-mscan CAN bus controller |
| pci@<addr> pci *-pci PCI bridge |
| serial@<addr> serial *-psc-uart PSC in serial mode |
| i2s@<addr> sound *-psc-i2s PSC in i2s mode |
| ac97@<addr> sound *-psc-ac97 PSC in ac97 mode |
| spi@<addr> spi *-psc-spi PSC in spi mode |
| irda@<addr> irda *-psc-irda PSC in IrDA mode |
| spi@<addr> spi *-spi MPC52xx spi device |
| ethernet@<addr> network *-fec MPC52xx ethernet device |
| ata@<addr> ata *-ata IDE ATA interface |
| i2c@<addr> i2c *-i2c I2C controller |
| usb@<addr> usb-ohci-be *-ohci,ohci-be USB controller |
| xlb@<addr> xlb *-xlb XLB arbritrator |
| |
| IV - Extra Notes |
| ================ |
| |
| 1. Interrupt mapping |
| -------------------- |
| The mpc52xx pic driver splits hardware IRQ numbers into two levels. The |
| split reflects the layout of the PIC hardware itself, which groups |
| interrupts into one of three groups; CRIT, MAIN or PERP. Also, the |
| Bestcomm dma engine has it's own set of interrupt sources which are |
| cascaded off of peripheral interrupt 0, which the driver interprets as a |
| fourth group, SDMA. |
| |
| The interrupts property for device nodes using the mpc52xx pic consists |
| of three cells; <L1 L2 level> |
| |
| L1 := [CRIT=0, MAIN=1, PERP=2, SDMA=3] |
| L2 := interrupt number; directly mapped from the value in the |
| "ICTL PerStat, MainStat, CritStat Encoded Register" |
| level := [LEVEL_HIGH=0, EDGE_RISING=1, EDGE_FALLING=2, LEVEL_LOW=3] |
