| Revision Information |
| ==================== |
| |
| May 18, 2005: Rev 0.1 - Initial draft, no chapter III yet. |
| |
| May 19, 2005: Rev 0.2 - Add chapter III and bits & pieces here or |
| clarifies the fact that a lot of things are |
| optional, the kernel only requires a very |
| small device tree, though it is encouraged |
| to provide an as complete one as possible. |
| |
| May 24, 2005: Rev 0.3 - Precise that DT block has to be in RAM |
| - Misc fixes |
| - Define version 3 and new format version 16 |
| for the DT block (version 16 needs kernel |
| patches, will be fwd separately). |
| String block now has a size, and full path |
| is replaced by unit name for more |
| compactness. |
| linux,phandle is made optional, only nodes |
| that are referenced by other nodes need it. |
| "name" property is now automatically |
| deduced from the unit name |
| |
| June 1, 2005: Rev 0.4 - Correct confusion between OF_DT_END and |
| OF_DT_END_NODE in structure definition. |
| - Change version 16 format to always align |
| property data to 4 bytes. Since tokens are |
| already aligned, that means no specific |
| required alignment between property size |
| and property data. The old style variable |
| alignment would make it impossible to do |
| "simple" insertion of properties using |
| memmove (thanks Milton for |
| noticing). Updated kernel patch as well |
| - Correct a few more alignment constraints |
| - Add a chapter about the device-tree |
| compiler and the textural representation of |
| the tree that can be "compiled" by dtc. |
| |
| November 21, 2005: Rev 0.5 |
| - Additions/generalizations for 32-bit |
| - Changed to reflect the new arch/powerpc |
| structure |
| - Added chapter VI |
| |
| |
| ToDo: |
| - Add some definitions of interrupt tree (simple/complex) |
| - Add some definitions for PCI host bridges |
| - Add some common address format examples |
| - Add definitions for standard properties and "compatible" |
| names for cells that are not already defined by the existing |
| OF spec. |
| - Compare FSL SOC use of PCI to standard and make sure no new |
| node definition required. |
| - Add more information about node definitions for SOC devices |
| that currently have no standard, like the FSL CPM. |
| |
| |
| I - Introduction |
| ================ |
| |
| During the recent development of the Linux/ppc64 kernel, and more |
| specifically, the addition of new platform types outside of the old |
| IBM pSeries/iSeries pair, it was decided to enforce some strict rules |
| regarding the kernel entry and bootloader <-> kernel interfaces, in |
| order to avoid the degeneration that had become the ppc32 kernel entry |
| point and the way a new platform should be added to the kernel. The |
| legacy iSeries platform breaks those rules as it predates this scheme, |
| but no new board support will be accepted in the main tree that |
| doesn't follows them properly. In addition, since the advent of the |
| arch/powerpc merged architecture for ppc32 and ppc64, new 32-bit |
| platforms and 32-bit platforms which move into arch/powerpc will be |
| required to use these rules as well. |
| |
| The main requirement that will be defined in more detail below is |
| the presence of a device-tree whose format is defined after Open |
| Firmware specification. However, in order to make life easier |
| to embedded board vendors, the kernel doesn't require the device-tree |
| to represent every device in the system and only requires some nodes |
| and properties to be present. This will be described in detail in |
| section III, but, for example, the kernel does not require you to |
| create a node for every PCI device in the system. It is a requirement |
| to have a node for PCI host bridges in order to provide interrupt |
| routing informations and memory/IO ranges, among others. It is also |
| recommended to define nodes for on chip devices and other busses that |
| don't specifically fit in an existing OF specification. This creates a |
| great flexibility in the way the kernel can then probe those and match |
| drivers to device, without having to hard code all sorts of tables. It |
| also makes it more flexible for board vendors to do minor hardware |
| upgrades without significantly impacting the kernel code or cluttering |
| it with special cases. |
| |
| |
| 1) Entry point for arch/powerpc |
| ------------------------------- |
| |
| There is one and one single entry point to the kernel, at the start |
| of the kernel image. That entry point supports two calling |
| conventions: |
| |
| a) Boot from Open Firmware. If your firmware is compatible |
| with Open Firmware (IEEE 1275) or provides an OF compatible |
| client interface API (support for "interpret" callback of |
| forth words isn't required), you can enter the kernel with: |
| |
| r5 : OF callback pointer as defined by IEEE 1275 |
| bindings to powerpc. Only the 32-bit client interface |
| is currently supported |
| |
| r3, r4 : address & length of an initrd if any or 0 |
| |
| The MMU is either on or off; the kernel will run the |
| trampoline located in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c to |
| extract the device-tree and other information from open |
| firmware and build a flattened device-tree as described |
| in b). prom_init() will then re-enter the kernel using |
| the second method. This trampoline code runs in the |
| context of the firmware, which is supposed to handle all |
| exceptions during that time. |
| |
| b) Direct entry with a flattened device-tree block. This entry |
| point is called by a) after the OF trampoline and can also be |
| called directly by a bootloader that does not support the Open |
| Firmware client interface. It is also used by "kexec" to |
| implement "hot" booting of a new kernel from a previous |
| running one. This method is what I will describe in more |
| details in this document, as method a) is simply standard Open |
| Firmware, and thus should be implemented according to the |
| various standard documents defining it and its binding to the |
| PowerPC platform. The entry point definition then becomes: |
| |
| r3 : physical pointer to the device-tree block |
| (defined in chapter II) in RAM |
| |
| r4 : physical pointer to the kernel itself. This is |
| used by the assembly code to properly disable the MMU |
| in case you are entering the kernel with MMU enabled |
| and a non-1:1 mapping. |
| |
| r5 : NULL (as to differentiate with method a) |
| |
| Note about SMP entry: Either your firmware puts your other |
| CPUs in some sleep loop or spin loop in ROM where you can get |
| them out via a soft reset or some other means, in which case |
| you don't need to care, or you'll have to enter the kernel |
| with all CPUs. The way to do that with method b) will be |
| described in a later revision of this document. |
| |
| |
| 2) Board support |
| ---------------- |
| |
| 64-bit kernels: |
| |
| Board supports (platforms) are not exclusive config options. An |
| arbitrary set of board supports can be built in a single kernel |
| image. The kernel will "know" what set of functions to use for a |
| given platform based on the content of the device-tree. Thus, you |
| should: |
| |
| a) add your platform support as a _boolean_ option in |
| arch/powerpc/Kconfig, following the example of PPC_PSERIES, |
| PPC_PMAC and PPC_MAPLE. The later is probably a good |
| example of a board support to start from. |
| |
| b) create your main platform file as |
| "arch/powerpc/platforms/myplatform/myboard_setup.c" and add it |
| to the Makefile under the condition of your CONFIG_ |
| option. This file will define a structure of type "ppc_md" |
| containing the various callbacks that the generic code will |
| use to get to your platform specific code |
| |
| c) Add a reference to your "ppc_md" structure in the |
| "machines" table in arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c if you are |
| a 64-bit platform. |
| |
| d) request and get assigned a platform number (see PLATFORM_* |
| constants in include/asm-powerpc/processor.h |
| |
| 32-bit embedded kernels: |
| |
| Currently, board support is essentially an exclusive config option. |
| The kernel is configured for a single platform. Part of the reason |
| for this is to keep kernels on embedded systems small and efficient; |
| part of this is due to the fact the code is already that way. In the |
| future, a kernel may support multiple platforms, but only if the |
| platforms feature the same core architecture. A single kernel build |
| cannot support both configurations with Book E and configurations |
| with classic Powerpc architectures. |
| |
| 32-bit embedded platforms that are moved into arch/powerpc using a |
| flattened device tree should adopt the merged tree practice of |
| setting ppc_md up dynamically, even though the kernel is currently |
| built with support for only a single platform at a time. This allows |
| unification of the setup code, and will make it easier to go to a |
| multiple-platform-support model in the future. |
| |
| NOTE: I believe the above will be true once Ben's done with the merge |
| of the boot sequences.... someone speak up if this is wrong! |
| |
| To add a 32-bit embedded platform support, follow the instructions |
| for 64-bit platforms above, with the exception that the Kconfig |
| option should be set up such that the kernel builds exclusively for |
| the platform selected. The processor type for the platform should |
| enable another config option to select the specific board |
| supported. |
| |
| NOTE: If Ben doesn't merge the setup files, may need to change this to |
| point to setup_32.c |
| |
| |
| I will describe later the boot process and various callbacks that |
| your platform should implement. |
| |
| |
| II - The DT block format |
| ======================== |
| |
| |
| This chapter defines the actual format of the flattened device-tree |
| passed to the kernel. The actual content of it and kernel requirements |
| are described later. You can find example of code manipulating that |
| format in various places, including arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c |
| which will generate a flattened device-tree from the Open Firmware |
| representation, or the fs2dt utility which is part of the kexec tools |
| which will generate one from a filesystem representation. It is |
| expected that a bootloader like uboot provides a bit more support, |
| that will be discussed later as well. |
| |
| Note: The block has to be in main memory. It has to be accessible in |
| both real mode and virtual mode with no mapping other than main |
| memory. If you are writing a simple flash bootloader, it should copy |
| the block to RAM before passing it to the kernel. |
| |
| |
| 1) Header |
| --------- |
| |
| The kernel is entered with r3 pointing to an area of memory that is |
| roughly described in include/asm-powerpc/prom.h by the structure |
| boot_param_header: |
| |
| struct boot_param_header { |
| u32 magic; /* magic word OF_DT_HEADER */ |
| u32 totalsize; /* total size of DT block */ |
| u32 off_dt_struct; /* offset to structure */ |
| u32 off_dt_strings; /* offset to strings */ |
| u32 off_mem_rsvmap; /* offset to memory reserve map |
| */ |
| u32 version; /* format version */ |
| u32 last_comp_version; /* last compatible version */ |
| |
| /* version 2 fields below */ |
| u32 boot_cpuid_phys; /* Which physical CPU id we're |
| booting on */ |
| /* version 3 fields below */ |
| u32 size_dt_strings; /* size of the strings block */ |
| |
| /* version 17 fields below */ |
| u32 size_dt_struct; /* size of the DT structure block */ |
| }; |
| |
| Along with the constants: |
| |
| /* Definitions used by the flattened device tree */ |
| #define OF_DT_HEADER 0xd00dfeed /* 4: version, |
| 4: total size */ |
| #define OF_DT_BEGIN_NODE 0x1 /* Start node: full name |
| */ |
| #define OF_DT_END_NODE 0x2 /* End node */ |
| #define OF_DT_PROP 0x3 /* Property: name off, |
| size, content */ |
| #define OF_DT_END 0x9 |
| |
| All values in this header are in big endian format, the various |
| fields in this header are defined more precisely below. All |
| "offset" values are in bytes from the start of the header; that is |
| from the value of r3. |
| |
| - magic |
| |
| This is a magic value that "marks" the beginning of the |
| device-tree block header. It contains the value 0xd00dfeed and is |
| defined by the constant OF_DT_HEADER |
| |
| - totalsize |
| |
| This is the total size of the DT block including the header. The |
| "DT" block should enclose all data structures defined in this |
| chapter (who are pointed to by offsets in this header). That is, |
| the device-tree structure, strings, and the memory reserve map. |
| |
| - off_dt_struct |
| |
| This is an offset from the beginning of the header to the start |
| of the "structure" part the device tree. (see 2) device tree) |
| |
| - off_dt_strings |
| |
| This is an offset from the beginning of the header to the start |
| of the "strings" part of the device-tree |
| |
| - off_mem_rsvmap |
| |
| This is an offset from the beginning of the header to the start |
| of the reserved memory map. This map is a list of pairs of 64- |
| bit integers. Each pair is a physical address and a size. The |
| list is terminated by an entry of size 0. This map provides the |
| kernel with a list of physical memory areas that are "reserved" |
| and thus not to be used for memory allocations, especially during |
| early initialization. The kernel needs to allocate memory during |
| boot for things like un-flattening the device-tree, allocating an |
| MMU hash table, etc... Those allocations must be done in such a |
| way to avoid overriding critical things like, on Open Firmware |
| capable machines, the RTAS instance, or on some pSeries, the TCE |
| tables used for the iommu. Typically, the reserve map should |
| contain _at least_ this DT block itself (header,total_size). If |
| you are passing an initrd to the kernel, you should reserve it as |
| well. You do not need to reserve the kernel image itself. The map |
| should be 64-bit aligned. |
| |
| - version |
| |
| This is the version of this structure. Version 1 stops |
| here. Version 2 adds an additional field boot_cpuid_phys. |
| Version 3 adds the size of the strings block, allowing the kernel |
| to reallocate it easily at boot and free up the unused flattened |
| structure after expansion. Version 16 introduces a new more |
| "compact" format for the tree itself that is however not backward |
| compatible. Version 17 adds an additional field, size_dt_struct, |
| allowing it to be reallocated or moved more easily (this is |
| particularly useful for bootloaders which need to make |
| adjustments to a device tree based on probed information). You |
| should always generate a structure of the highest version defined |
| at the time of your implementation. Currently that is version 17, |
| unless you explicitly aim at being backward compatible. |
| |
| - last_comp_version |
| |
| Last compatible version. This indicates down to what version of |
| the DT block you are backward compatible. For example, version 2 |
| is backward compatible with version 1 (that is, a kernel build |
| for version 1 will be able to boot with a version 2 format). You |
| should put a 1 in this field if you generate a device tree of |
| version 1 to 3, or 16 if you generate a tree of version 16 or 17 |
| using the new unit name format. |
| |
| - boot_cpuid_phys |
| |
| This field only exist on version 2 headers. It indicate which |
| physical CPU ID is calling the kernel entry point. This is used, |
| among others, by kexec. If you are on an SMP system, this value |
| should match the content of the "reg" property of the CPU node in |
| the device-tree corresponding to the CPU calling the kernel entry |
| point (see further chapters for more informations on the required |
| device-tree contents) |
| |
| - size_dt_strings |
| |
| This field only exists on version 3 and later headers. It |
| gives the size of the "strings" section of the device tree (which |
| starts at the offset given by off_dt_strings). |
| |
| - size_dt_struct |
| |
| This field only exists on version 17 and later headers. It gives |
| the size of the "structure" section of the device tree (which |
| starts at the offset given by off_dt_struct). |
| |
| So the typical layout of a DT block (though the various parts don't |
| need to be in that order) looks like this (addresses go from top to |
| bottom): |
| |

| |
| (*) The alignment gaps are not necessarily present; their presence |
| and size are dependent on the various alignment requirements of |
| the individual data blocks. |
| |
| |
| 2) Device tree generalities |
| --------------------------- |
| |
| This device-tree itself is separated in two different blocks, a |
| structure block and a strings block. Both need to be aligned to a 4 |
| byte boundary. |
| |
| First, let's quickly describe the device-tree concept before detailing |
| the storage format. This chapter does _not_ describe the detail of the |
| required types of nodes & properties for the kernel, this is done |
| later in chapter III. |
| |
| The device-tree layout is strongly inherited from the definition of |
| the Open Firmware IEEE 1275 device-tree. It's basically a tree of |
| nodes, each node having two or more named properties. A property can |
| have a value or not. |
| |
| It is a tree, so each node has one and only one parent except for the |
| root node who has no parent. |
| |
| A node has 2 names. The actual node name is generally contained in a |
| property of type "name" in the node property list whose value is a |
| zero terminated string and is mandatory for version 1 to 3 of the |
| format definition (as it is in Open Firmware). Version 16 makes it |
| optional as it can generate it from the unit name defined below. |
| |
| There is also a "unit name" that is used to differentiate nodes with |
| the same name at the same level, it is usually made of the node |
| names, the "@" sign, and a "unit address", which definition is |
| specific to the bus type the node sits on. |
| |
| The unit name doesn't exist as a property per-se but is included in |
| the device-tree structure. It is typically used to represent "path" in |
| the device-tree. More details about the actual format of these will be |
| below. |
| |
| The kernel powerpc generic code does not make any formal use of the |
| unit address (though some board support code may do) so the only real |
| requirement here for the unit address is to ensure uniqueness of |
| the node unit name at a given level of the tree. Nodes with no notion |
| of address and no possible sibling of the same name (like /memory or |
| /cpus) may omit the unit address in the context of this specification, |
| or use the "@0" default unit address. The unit name is used to define |
| a node "full path", which is the concatenation of all parent node |
| unit names separated with "/". |
| |
| The root node doesn't have a defined name, and isn't required to have |
| a name property either if you are using version 3 or earlier of the |
| format. It also has no unit address (no @ symbol followed by a unit |
| address). The root node unit name is thus an empty string. The full |
| path to the root node is "/". |
| |
| Every node which actually represents an actual device (that is, a node |
| which isn't only a virtual "container" for more nodes, like "/cpus" |
| is) is also required to have a "device_type" property indicating the |
| type of node . |
| |
| Finally, every node that can be referenced from a property in another |
| node is required to have a "linux,phandle" property. Real open |
| firmware implementations provide a unique "phandle" value for every |
| node that the "prom_init()" trampoline code turns into |
| "linux,phandle" properties. However, this is made optional if the |
| flattened device tree is used directly. An example of a node |
| referencing another node via "phandle" is when laying out the |
| interrupt tree which will be described in a further version of this |
| document. |
| |
| This "linux, phandle" property is a 32-bit value that uniquely |
| identifies a node. You are free to use whatever values or system of |
| values, internal pointers, or whatever to generate these, the only |
| requirement is that every node for which you provide that property has |
| a unique value for it. |
| |
| Here is an example of a simple device-tree. In this example, an "o" |
| designates a node followed by the node unit name. Properties are |
| presented with their name followed by their content. "content" |
| represents an ASCII string (zero terminated) value, while <content> |
| represents a 32-bit hexadecimal value. The various nodes in this |
| example will be discussed in a later chapter. At this point, it is |
| only meant to give you a idea of what a device-tree looks like. I have |
| purposefully kept the "name" and "linux,phandle" properties which |
| aren't necessary in order to give you a better idea of what the tree |
| looks like in practice. |
| |
| / o device-tree |
| |- name = "device-tree" |
| |- model = "MyBoardName" |
| |- compatible = "MyBoardFamilyName" |
| |- #address-cells = <2> |
| |- #size-cells = <2> |
| |- linux,phandle = <0> |
| | |
| o cpus |
| | | - name = "cpus" |
| | | - linux,phandle = <1> |
| | | - #address-cells = <1> |
| | | - #size-cells = <0> |
| | | |
| | o PowerPC,970@0 |
| | |- name = "PowerPC,970" |
| | |- device_type = "cpu" |
| | |- reg = <0> |
| | |- clock-frequency = <5f5e1000> |
| | |- 64-bit |
| | |- linux,phandle = <2> |
| | |
| o memory@0 |
| | |- name = "memory" |
| | |- device_type = "memory" |
| | |- reg = <00000000 00000000 00000000 20000000> |
| | |- linux,phandle = <3> |
| | |
| o chosen |
| |- name = "chosen" |
| |- bootargs = "root=/dev/sda2" |
| |- linux,phandle = <4> |
| |
| This tree is almost a minimal tree. It pretty much contains the |
| minimal set of required nodes and properties to boot a linux kernel; |
| that is, some basic model informations at the root, the CPUs, and the |
| physical memory layout. It also includes misc information passed |
| through /chosen, like in this example, the platform type (mandatory) |
| and the kernel command line arguments (optional). |
| |
| The /cpus/PowerPC,970@0/64-bit property is an example of a |
| property without a value. All other properties have a value. The |
| significance of the #address-cells and #size-cells properties will be |
| explained in chapter IV which defines precisely the required nodes and |
| properties and their content. |
| |
| |
| 3) Device tree "structure" block |
| |
| The structure of the device tree is a linearized tree structure. The |
| "OF_DT_BEGIN_NODE" token starts a new node, and the "OF_DT_END_NODE" |
| ends that node definition. Child nodes are simply defined before |
| "OF_DT_END_NODE" (that is nodes within the node). A 'token' is a 32 |
| bit value. The tree has to be "finished" with a OF_DT_END token |
| |
| Here's the basic structure of a single node: |
| |
| * token OF_DT_BEGIN_NODE (that is 0x00000001) |
| * for version 1 to 3, this is the node full path as a zero |
| terminated string, starting with "/". For version 16 and later, |
| this is the node unit name only (or an empty string for the |
| root node) |
| * [align gap to next 4 bytes boundary] |
| * for each property: |
| * token OF_DT_PROP (that is 0x00000003) |
| * 32-bit value of property value size in bytes (or 0 if no |
| value) |
| * 32-bit value of offset in string block of property name |
| * property value data if any |
| * [align gap to next 4 bytes boundary] |
| * [child nodes if any] |
| * token OF_DT_END_NODE (that is 0x00000002) |
| |
| So the node content can be summarized as a start token, a full path, |
| a list of properties, a list of child nodes, and an end token. Every |
| child node is a full node structure itself as defined above. |
| |
| NOTE: The above definition requires that all property definitions for |
| a particular node MUST precede any subnode definitions for that node. |
| Although the structure would not be ambiguous if properties and |
| subnodes were intermingled, the kernel parser requires that the |
| properties come first (up until at least 2.6.22). Any tools |
| manipulating a flattened tree must take care to preserve this |
| constraint. |
| |
| 4) Device tree "strings" block |
| |
| In order to save space, property names, which are generally redundant, |
| are stored separately in the "strings" block. This block is simply the |
| whole bunch of zero terminated strings for all property names |
| concatenated together. The device-tree property definitions in the |
| structure block will contain offset values from the beginning of the |
| strings block. |
| |
| |
| III - Required content of the device tree |
| ========================================= |
| |
| WARNING: All "linux,*" properties defined in this document apply only |
| to a flattened device-tree. If your platform uses a real |
| implementation of Open Firmware or an implementation compatible with |
| the Open Firmware client interface, those properties will be created |
| by the trampoline code in the kernel's prom_init() file. For example, |
| that's where you'll have to add code to detect your board model and |
| set the platform number. However, when using the flattened device-tree |
| entry point, there is no prom_init() pass, and thus you have to |
| provide those properties yourself. |
| |
| |
| 1) Note about cells and address representation |
| ---------------------------------------------- |
| |
| The general rule is documented in the various Open Firmware |
| documentations. If you choose to describe a bus with the device-tree |
| and there exist an OF bus binding, then you should follow the |
| specification. However, the kernel does not require every single |
| device or bus to be described by the device tree. |
| |
| In general, the format of an address for a device is defined by the |
| parent bus type, based on the #address-cells and #size-cells |
| property. In the absence of such a property, the parent's parent |
| values are used, etc... The kernel requires the root node to have |
| those properties defining addresses format for devices directly mapped |
| on the processor bus. |
| |
| Those 2 properties define 'cells' for representing an address and a |
| size. A "cell" is a 32-bit number. For example, if both contain 2 |
| like the example tree given above, then an address and a size are both |
| composed of 2 cells, and each is a 64-bit number (cells are |
| concatenated and expected to be in big endian format). Another example |
| is the way Apple firmware defines them, with 2 cells for an address |
| and one cell for a size. Most 32-bit implementations should define |
| #address-cells and #size-cells to 1, which represents a 32-bit value. |
| Some 32-bit processors allow for physical addresses greater than 32 |
| bits; these processors should define #address-cells as 2. |
| |
| "reg" properties are always a tuple of the type "address size" where |
| the number of cells of address and size is specified by the bus |
| #address-cells and #size-cells. When a bus supports various address |
| spaces and other flags relative to a given address allocation (like |
| prefetchable, etc...) those flags are usually added to the top level |
| bits of the physical address. For example, a PCI physical address is |
| made of 3 cells, the bottom two containing the actual address itself |
| while the top cell contains address space indication, flags, and pci |
| bus & device numbers. |
| |
| For busses that support dynamic allocation, it's the accepted practice |
| to then not provide the address in "reg" (keep it 0) though while |
| providing a flag indicating the address is dynamically allocated, and |
| then, to provide a separate "assigned-addresses" property that |
| contains the fully allocated addresses. See the PCI OF bindings for |
| details. |
| |
| In general, a simple bus with no address space bits and no dynamic |
| allocation is preferred if it reflects your hardware, as the existing |
| kernel address parsing functions will work out of the box. If you |
| define a bus type with a more complex address format, including things |
| like address space bits, you'll have to add a bus translator to the |
| prom_parse.c file of the recent kernels for your bus type. |
| |
| The "reg" property only defines addresses and sizes (if #size-cells |
| is non-0) within a given bus. In order to translate addresses upward |
| (that is into parent bus addresses, and possibly into CPU physical |
| addresses), all busses must contain a "ranges" property. If the |
| "ranges" property is missing at a given level, it's assumed that |
| translation isn't possible. The format of the "ranges" property for a |
| bus is a list of: |
| |
| bus address, parent bus address, size |
| |
| "bus address" is in the format of the bus this bus node is defining, |
| that is, for a PCI bridge, it would be a PCI address. Thus, (bus |
| address, size) defines a range of addresses for child devices. "parent |
| bus address" is in the format of the parent bus of this bus. For |
| example, for a PCI host controller, that would be a CPU address. For a |
| PCI<->ISA bridge, that would be a PCI address. It defines the base |
| address in the parent bus where the beginning of that range is mapped. |
| |
| For a new 64-bit powerpc board, I recommend either the 2/2 format or |
| Apple's 2/1 format which is slightly more compact since sizes usually |
| fit in a single 32-bit word. New 32-bit powerpc boards should use a |
| 1/1 format, unless the processor supports physical addresses greater |
| than 32-bits, in which case a 2/1 format is recommended. |
| |
| |
| 2) Note about "compatible" properties |
| ------------------------------------- |
| |
| These properties are optional, but recommended in devices and the root |
| node. The format of a "compatible" property is a list of concatenated |
| zero terminated strings. They allow a device to express its |
| compatibility with a family of similar devices, in some cases, |
| allowing a single driver to match against several devices regardless |
| of their actual names. |
| |
| 3) Note about "name" properties |
| ------------------------------- |
| |
| While earlier users of Open Firmware like OldWorld macintoshes tended |
| to use the actual device name for the "name" property, it's nowadays |
| considered a good practice to use a name that is closer to the device |
| class (often equal to device_type). For example, nowadays, ethernet |
| controllers are named "ethernet", an additional "model" property |
| defining precisely the chip type/model, and "compatible" property |
| defining the family in case a single driver can driver more than one |
| of these chips. However, the kernel doesn't generally put any |
| restriction on the "name" property; it is simply considered good |
| practice to follow the standard and its evolutions as closely as |
| possible. |
| |
| Note also that the new format version 16 makes the "name" property |
| optional. If it's absent for a node, then the node's unit name is then |
| used to reconstruct the name. That is, the part of the unit name |
| before the "@" sign is used (or the entire unit name if no "@" sign |
| is present). |
| |
| 4) Note about node and property names and character set |
| ------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| While open firmware provides more flexible usage of 8859-1, this |
| specification enforces more strict rules. Nodes and properties should |
| be comprised only of ASCII characters 'a' to 'z', '0' to |
| '9', ',', '.', '_', '+', '#', '?', and '-'. Node names additionally |
| allow uppercase characters 'A' to 'Z' (property names should be |
| lowercase. The fact that vendors like Apple don't respect this rule is |
| irrelevant here). Additionally, node and property names should always |
| begin with a character in the range 'a' to 'z' (or 'A' to 'Z' for node |
| names). |
| |
| The maximum number of characters for both nodes and property names |
| is 31. In the case of node names, this is only the leftmost part of |
| a unit name (the pure "name" property), it doesn't include the unit |
| address which can extend beyond that limit. |
| |
| |
| 5) Required nodes and properties |
| -------------------------------- |
| These are all that are currently required. However, it is strongly |
| recommended that you expose PCI host bridges as documented in the |
| PCI binding to open firmware, and your interrupt tree as documented |
| in OF interrupt tree specification. |
| |
| a) The root node |
| |
| The root node requires some properties to be present: |
| |
| - model : this is your board name/model |
| - #address-cells : address representation for "root" devices |
| - #size-cells: the size representation for "root" devices |
| - device_type : This property shouldn't be necessary. However, if |
| you decide to create a device_type for your root node, make sure it |
| is _not_ "chrp" unless your platform is a pSeries or PAPR compliant |
| one for 64-bit, or a CHRP-type machine for 32-bit as this will |
| matched by the kernel this way. |
| |
| Additionally, some recommended properties are: |
| |
| - compatible : the board "family" generally finds its way here, |
| for example, if you have 2 board models with a similar layout, |
| that typically get driven by the same platform code in the |
| kernel, you would use a different "model" property but put a |
| value in "compatible". The kernel doesn't directly use that |
| value but it is generally useful. |
| |
| The root node is also generally where you add additional properties |
| specific to your board like the serial number if any, that sort of |
| thing. It is recommended that if you add any "custom" property whose |
| name may clash with standard defined ones, you prefix them with your |
| vendor name and a comma. |
| |
| b) The /cpus node |
| |
| This node is the parent of all individual CPU nodes. It doesn't |
| have any specific requirements, though it's generally good practice |
| to have at least: |
| |
| #address-cells = <00000001> |
| #size-cells = <00000000> |
| |
| This defines that the "address" for a CPU is a single cell, and has |
| no meaningful size. This is not necessary but the kernel will assume |
| that format when reading the "reg" properties of a CPU node, see |
| below |
| |
| c) The /cpus/* nodes |
| |
| So under /cpus, you are supposed to create a node for every CPU on |
| the machine. There is no specific restriction on the name of the |
| CPU, though It's common practice to call it PowerPC,<name>. For |
| example, Apple uses PowerPC,G5 while IBM uses PowerPC,970FX. |
| |
| Required properties: |
| |
| - device_type : has to be "cpu" |
| - reg : This is the physical CPU number, it's a single 32-bit cell |
| and is also used as-is as the unit number for constructing the |
| unit name in the full path. For example, with 2 CPUs, you would |
| have the full path: |
| /cpus/PowerPC,970FX@0 |
| /cpus/PowerPC,970FX@1 |
| (unit addresses do not require leading zeroes) |
| - d-cache-line-size : one cell, L1 data cache line size in bytes |
| - i-cache-line-size : one cell, L1 instruction cache line size in |
| bytes |
| - d-cache-size : one cell, size of L1 data cache in bytes |
| - i-cache-size : one cell, size of L1 instruction cache in bytes |
| |
| Recommended properties: |
| |
| - timebase-frequency : a cell indicating the frequency of the |
| timebase in Hz. This is not directly used by the generic code, |
| but you are welcome to copy/paste the pSeries code for setting |
| the kernel timebase/decrementer calibration based on this |
| value. |
| - clock-frequency : a cell indicating the CPU core clock frequency |
| in Hz. A new property will be defined for 64-bit values, but if |
| your frequency is < 4Ghz, one cell is enough. Here as well as |
| for the above, the common code doesn't use that property, but |
| you are welcome to re-use the pSeries or Maple one. A future |
| kernel version might provide a common function for this. |
| |
| You are welcome to add any property you find relevant to your board, |
| like some information about the mechanism used to soft-reset the |
| CPUs. For example, Apple puts the GPIO number for CPU soft reset |
| lines in there as a "soft-reset" property since they start secondary |
| CPUs by soft-resetting them. |
| |
| |
| d) the /memory node(s) |
| |
| To define the physical memory layout of your board, you should |
| create one or more memory node(s). You can either create a single |
| node with all memory ranges in its reg property, or you can create |
| several nodes, as you wish. The unit address (@ part) used for the |
| full path is the address of the first range of memory defined by a |
| given node. If you use a single memory node, this will typically be |
| @0. |
| |
| Required properties: |
| |
| - device_type : has to be "memory" |
| - reg : This property contains all the physical memory ranges of |
| your board. It's a list of addresses/sizes concatenated |
| together, with the number of cells of each defined by the |
| #address-cells and #size-cells of the root node. For example, |
| with both of these properties being 2 like in the example given |
| earlier, a 970 based machine with 6Gb of RAM could typically |
| have a "reg" property here that looks like: |
| |
| 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000000 |
| 00000001 00000000 00000001 00000000 |
| |
| That is a range starting at 0 of 0x80000000 bytes and a range |
| starting at 0x100000000 and of 0x100000000 bytes. You can see |
| that there is no memory covering the IO hole between 2Gb and |
| 4Gb. Some vendors prefer splitting those ranges into smaller |
| segments, but the kernel doesn't care. |
| |
| e) The /chosen node |
| |
| This node is a bit "special". Normally, that's where open firmware |
| puts some variable environment information, like the arguments, or |
| the default input/output devices. |
| |
| This specification makes a few of these mandatory, but also defines |
| some linux-specific properties that would be normally constructed by |
| the prom_init() trampoline when booting with an OF client interface, |
| but that you have to provide yourself when using the flattened format. |
| |
| Recommended properties: |
| |
| - bootargs : This zero-terminated string is passed as the kernel |
| command line |
| - linux,stdout-path : This is the full path to your standard |
| console device if any. Typically, if you have serial devices on |
| your board, you may want to put the full path to the one set as |
| the default console in the firmware here, for the kernel to pick |
| it up as its own default console. If you look at the function |
| set_preferred_console() in arch/ppc64/kernel/setup.c, you'll see |
| that the kernel tries to find out the default console and has |
| knowledge of various types like 8250 serial ports. You may want |
| to extend this function to add your own. |
| |
| Note that u-boot creates and fills in the chosen node for platforms |
| that use it. |
| |
| (Note: a practice that is now obsolete was to include a property |
| under /chosen called interrupt-controller which had a phandle value |
| that pointed to the main interrupt controller) |
| |
| f) the /soc<SOCname> node |
| |
| This node is used to represent a system-on-a-chip (SOC) and must be |
| present if the processor is a SOC. The top-level soc node contains |
| information that is global to all devices on the SOC. The node name |
| should contain a unit address for the SOC, which is the base address |
| of the memory-mapped register set for the SOC. The name of an soc |
| node should start with "soc", and the remainder of the name should |
| represent the part number for the soc. For example, the MPC8540's |
| soc node would be called "soc8540". |
| |
| Required properties: |
| |
| - device_type : Should be "soc" |
| - ranges : Should be defined as specified in 1) to describe the |
| translation of SOC addresses for memory mapped SOC registers. |
| - bus-frequency: Contains the bus frequency for the SOC node. |
| Typically, the value of this field is filled in by the boot |
| loader. |
| |
| |
| Recommended properties: |
| |
| - reg : This property defines the address and size of the |
| memory-mapped registers that are used for the SOC node itself. |
| It does not include the child device registers - these will be |
| defined inside each child node. The address specified in the |
| "reg" property should match the unit address of the SOC node. |
| - #address-cells : Address representation for "soc" devices. The |
| format of this field may vary depending on whether or not the |
| device registers are memory mapped. For memory mapped |
| registers, this field represents the number of cells needed to |
| represent the address of the registers. For SOCs that do not |
| use MMIO, a special address format should be defined that |
| contains enough cells to represent the required information. |
| See 1) above for more details on defining #address-cells. |
| - #size-cells : Size representation for "soc" devices |
| - #interrupt-cells : Defines the width of cells used to represent |
| interrupts. Typically this value is <2>, which includes a |
| 32-bit number that represents the interrupt number, and a |
| 32-bit number that represents the interrupt sense and level. |
| This field is only needed if the SOC contains an interrupt |
| controller. |
| |
| The SOC node may contain child nodes for each SOC device that the |
| platform uses. Nodes should not be created for devices which exist |
| on the SOC but are not used by a particular platform. See chapter VI |
| for more information on how to specify devices that are part of a SOC. |
| |
| Example SOC node for the MPC8540: |
| |
| soc8540@e0000000 { |
| #address-cells = <1>; |
| #size-cells = <1>; |
| #interrupt-cells = <2>; |
| device_type = "soc"; |
| ranges = <00000000 e0000000 00100000> |
| reg = <e0000000 00003000>; |
| bus-frequency = <0>; |
| } |
| |
| |
| |
| IV - "dtc", the device tree compiler |
| ==================================== |
| |
| |
| dtc source code can be found at |
| <http://ozlabs.org/~dgibson/dtc/dtc.tar.gz> |
| |
| WARNING: This version is still in early development stage; the |
| resulting device-tree "blobs" have not yet been validated with the |
| kernel. The current generated bloc lacks a useful reserve map (it will |
| be fixed to generate an empty one, it's up to the bootloader to fill |
| it up) among others. The error handling needs work, bugs are lurking, |
| etc... |
| |
| dtc basically takes a device-tree in a given format and outputs a |
| device-tree in another format. The currently supported formats are: |
| |
| Input formats: |
| ------------- |
| |
| - "dtb": "blob" format, that is a flattened device-tree block |
| with |
| header all in a binary blob. |
| - "dts": "source" format. This is a text file containing a |
| "source" for a device-tree. The format is defined later in this |
| chapter. |
| - "fs" format. This is a representation equivalent to the |
| output of /proc/device-tree, that is nodes are directories and |
| properties are files |
| |
| Output formats: |
| --------------- |
| |
| - "dtb": "blob" format |
| - "dts": "source" format |
| - "asm": assembly language file. This is a file that can be |
| sourced by gas to generate a device-tree "blob". That file can |
| then simply be added to your Makefile. Additionally, the |
| assembly file exports some symbols that can be used. |
| |
| |
| The syntax of the dtc tool is |
| |
| dtc [-I <input-format>] [-O <output-format>] |
| [-o output-filename] [-V output_version] input_filename |
| |
| |
| The "output_version" defines what version of the "blob" format will be |
| generated. Supported versions are 1,2,3 and 16. The default is |
| currently version 3 but that may change in the future to version 16. |
| |
| Additionally, dtc performs various sanity checks on the tree, like the |
| uniqueness of linux, phandle properties, validity of strings, etc... |
| |
| The format of the .dts "source" file is "C" like, supports C and C++ |
| style comments. |
| |
| / { |
| } |
| |
| The above is the "device-tree" definition. It's the only statement |
| supported currently at the toplevel. |
| |
| / { |
| property1 = "string_value"; /* define a property containing a 0 |
| * terminated string |
| */ |
| |
| property2 = <1234abcd>; /* define a property containing a |
| * numerical 32-bit value (hexadecimal) |
| */ |
| |
| property3 = <12345678 12345678 deadbeef>; |
| /* define a property containing 3 |
| * numerical 32-bit values (cells) in |
| * hexadecimal |
| */ |
| property4 = [0a 0b 0c 0d de ea ad be ef]; |
| /* define a property whose content is |
| * an arbitrary array of bytes |
| */ |
| |
| childnode@addresss { /* define a child node named "childnode" |
| * whose unit name is "childnode at |
| * address" |
| */ |
| |
| childprop = "hello\n"; /* define a property "childprop" of |
| * childnode (in this case, a string) |
| */ |
| }; |
| }; |
| |
| Nodes can contain other nodes etc... thus defining the hierarchical |
| structure of the tree. |
| |
| Strings support common escape sequences from C: "\n", "\t", "\r", |
| "\(octal value)", "\x(hex value)". |
| |
| It is also suggested that you pipe your source file through cpp (gcc |
| preprocessor) so you can use #include's, #define for constants, etc... |
| |
| Finally, various options are planned but not yet implemented, like |
| automatic generation of phandles, labels (exported to the asm file so |
| you can point to a property content and change it easily from whatever |
| you link the device-tree with), label or path instead of numeric value |
| in some cells to "point" to a node (replaced by a phandle at compile |
| time), export of reserve map address to the asm file, ability to |
| specify reserve map content at compile time, etc... |
| |
| We may provide a .h include file with common definitions of that |
| proves useful for some properties (like building PCI properties or |
| interrupt maps) though it may be better to add a notion of struct |
| definitions to the compiler... |
| |
| |
| V - Recommendations for a bootloader |
| ==================================== |
| |
| |
| Here are some various ideas/recommendations that have been proposed |
| while all this has been defined and implemented. |
| |
| - The bootloader may want to be able to use the device-tree itself |
| and may want to manipulate it (to add/edit some properties, |
| like physical memory size or kernel arguments). At this point, 2 |
| choices can be made. Either the bootloader works directly on the |
| flattened format, or the bootloader has its own internal tree |
| representation with pointers (similar to the kernel one) and |
| re-flattens the tree when booting the kernel. The former is a bit |
| more difficult to edit/modify, the later requires probably a bit |
| more code to handle the tree structure. Note that the structure |
| format has been designed so it's relatively easy to "insert" |
| properties or nodes or delete them by just memmoving things |
| around. It contains no internal offsets or pointers for this |
| purpose. |
| |
| - An example of code for iterating nodes & retrieving properties |
| directly from the flattened tree format can be found in the kernel |
| file arch/ppc64/kernel/prom.c, look at scan_flat_dt() function, |
| its usage in early_init_devtree(), and the corresponding various |
| early_init_dt_scan_*() callbacks. That code can be re-used in a |
| GPL bootloader, and as the author of that code, I would be happy |
| to discuss possible free licensing to any vendor who wishes to |
| integrate all or part of this code into a non-GPL bootloader. |
| |
| |
| |
| VI - System-on-a-chip devices and nodes |
| ======================================= |
| |
| Many companies are now starting to develop system-on-a-chip |
| processors, where the processor core (CPU) and many peripheral devices |
| exist on a single piece of silicon. For these SOCs, an SOC node |
| should be used that defines child nodes for the devices that make |
| up the SOC. While platforms are not required to use this model in |
| order to boot the kernel, it is highly encouraged that all SOC |
| implementations define as complete a flat-device-tree as possible to |
| describe the devices on the SOC. This will allow for the |
| genericization of much of the kernel code. |
| |
| |
| 1) Defining child nodes of an SOC |
| --------------------------------- |
| |
| Each device that is part of an SOC may have its own node entry inside |
| the SOC node. For each device that is included in the SOC, the unit |
| address property represents the address offset for this device's |
| memory-mapped registers in the parent's address space. The parent's |
| address space is defined by the "ranges" property in the top-level soc |
| node. The "reg" property for each node that exists directly under the |
| SOC node should contain the address mapping from the child address space |
| to the parent SOC address space and the size of the device's |
| memory-mapped register file. |
| |
| For many devices that may exist inside an SOC, there are predefined |
| specifications for the format of the device tree node. All SOC child |
| nodes should follow these specifications, except where noted in this |
| document. |
| |
| See appendix A for an example partial SOC node definition for the |
| MPC8540. |
| |
| |
| 2) Representing devices without a current OF specification |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Currently, there are many devices on SOCs that do not have a standard |
| representation pre-defined as part of the open firmware |
| specifications, mainly because the boards that contain these SOCs are |
| not currently booted using open firmware. This section contains |
| descriptions for the SOC devices for which new nodes have been |
| defined; this list will expand as more and more SOC-containing |
| platforms are moved over to use the flattened-device-tree model. |
| |
| a) MDIO IO device |
| |
| The MDIO is a bus to which the PHY devices are connected. For each |
| device that exists on this bus, a child node should be created. See |
| the definition of the PHY node below for an example of how to define |
| a PHY. |
| |
| Required properties: |
| - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device |
| - device_type : Should be "mdio" |
| - compatible : Should define the compatible device type for the |
| mdio. Currently, this is most likely to be "gianfar" |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| mdio@24520 { |
| reg = <24520 20>; |
| device_type = "mdio"; |
| compatible = "gianfar"; |
| |
| ethernet-phy@0 { |
| ...... |
| }; |
| }; |
| |
| |
| b) Gianfar-compatible ethernet nodes |
| |
| Required properties: |
| |
| - device_type : Should be "network" |
| - model : Model of the device. Can be "TSEC", "eTSEC", or "FEC" |
| - compatible : Should be "gianfar" |
| - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device |
| - mac-address : List of bytes representing the ethernet address of |
| this controller |
| - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a |
| field that represents an encoding of the sense and level |
| information for the interrupt. This should be encoded based on |
| the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt |
| controller you have. |
| - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that |
| services interrupts for this device. |
| - phy-handle : The phandle for the PHY connected to this ethernet |
| controller. |
| |
| Recommended properties: |
| |
| - linux,network-index : This is the intended "index" of this |
| network device. This is used by the bootwrapper to interpret |
| MAC addresses passed by the firmware when no information other |
| than indices is available to associate an address with a device. |
| - phy-connection-type : a string naming the controller/PHY interface type, |
| i.e., "mii" (default), "rmii", "gmii", "rgmii", "rgmii-id", "sgmii", |
| "tbi", or "rtbi". This property is only really needed if the connection |
| is of type "rgmii-id", as all other connection types are detected by |
| hardware. |

| device width times the number of interleaved chips. |
| - device-width : (optional) Width of a single flash chip. If |
| omitted, assumed to be equal to 'bank-width'. |
| - #address-cells, #size-cells : Must be present if the flash has |
| sub-nodes representing partitions (see below). In this case |

| - device-id : Contains the flash chip's device id (1 byte). |
| |
| In addition to the information on the flash bank itself, the |

| describing partitions of the flash address space. This can be |
| used on platforms which have strong conventions about which |
| portions of the flash are used for what purposes, but which don't |
| use an on-flash partition table such as RedBoot. |
| |
| Each partition is represented as a sub-node of the flash device. |

| Linux that this flash partition should only be mounted |
| read-only. This is usually used for flash partitions |
| containing early-boot firmware images or data which should not |
| be clobbered. |
| |
| Example: |
| |
| flash@ff000000 { |

| - fsl,cpm-command : This value is ORed with the opcode and command flag |
| to specify the device on which a CPM command operates. |
| |

| is associated with. If absent, an unused BRG |
| should be dynamically allocated. If zero, the |
| device uses an external clock rather than a BRG. |

| scc/fcc/ucc registers, and the second represents the device's |
| parameter RAM region (if it has one). |

| interrupt-controller; |
| reg = <10c00 80>; |
| compatible = "mpc8272-pic", "fsl,cpm2-pic"; |
| }; |
| |
| vii) USB (Universal Serial Bus Controller) |

| fsl,cpm-command = <2e600000>; |
| }; |
| |
| viii) Multi-User RAM (MURAM) |
| |
| The multi-user/dual-ported RAM is expressed as a bus under the CPM node. |
| |
| Ranges must be set up subject to the following restrictions: |
| |
| - Children's reg nodes must be offsets from the start of all muram, even |
| if the user-data area does not begin at zero. |
| - If multiple range entries are used, the difference between the parent |
| address and the child address must be the same in all, so that a single |
| mapping can cover them all while maintaining the ability to determine |
| CPM-side offsets with pointer subtraction. It is recommended that |
| multiple range entries not be used. |
| - A child address of zero must be translatable, even if no reg resources |
| contain it. |
| |
| A child "data" node must exist, compatible with "fsl,cpm-muram-data", to |
| indicate the portion of muram that is usable by the OS for arbitrary |
| purposes. The data node may have an arbitrary number of reg resources, |
| all of which contribute to the allocatable muram pool. |
| |
| Example, based on mpc8272: |
| |
| muram@0 { |
| #address-cells = <1>; |
| #size-cells = <1>; |
| ranges = <0 0 10000>; |
| |
| data@0 { |
| compatible = "fsl,cpm-muram-data"; |
| reg = <0 2000 9800 800>; |
| }; |
| }; |
| |
| m) Chipselect/Local Bus |
| |
| Properties: |
| - name : Should be localbus |
| - #address-cells : Should be either two or three. The first cell is the |
| chipselect number, and the remaining cells are the |
| offset into the chipselect. |
| - #size-cells : Either one or two, depending on how large each chipselect |
| can be. |
| - ranges : Each range corresponds to a single chipselect, and cover |
| the entire access window as configured. |
| |
| Example: |
| localbus@f0010100 { |
| compatible = "fsl,mpc8272ads-localbus", |
| "fsl,mpc8272-localbus", |
| "fsl,pq2-localbus"; |
| #address-cells = <2>; |
| #size-cells = <1>; |
| reg = <f0010100 40>; |
| |
| ranges = <0 0 fe000000 02000000 |
| 1 0 f4500000 00008000>; |
| |
| flash@0,0 { |
| compatible = "jedec-flash"; |
| reg = <0 0 2000000>; |
| bank-width = <4>; |
| device-width = <1>; |
| }; |
| |
| board-control@1,0 { |
| reg = <1 0 20>; |
| compatible = "fsl,mpc8272ads-bcsr"; |
| }; |
| }; |
| |
| |
| n) 4xx/Axon EMAC ethernet nodes |
| |
| The EMAC ethernet controller in IBM and AMCC 4xx chips, and also |
| the Axon bridge. To operate this needs to interact with a ths |
| special McMAL DMA controller, and sometimes an RGMII or ZMII |
| interface. In addition to the nodes and properties described |
| below, the node for the OPB bus on which the EMAC sits must have a |

| EMAC, that is the content of the current (bogus) "phy-port" |
| property. |
| |
| Recommended properties: |
| - linux,network-index : This is the intended "index" of this |
| network device. This is used by the bootwrapper to interpret |
| MAC addresses passed by the firmware when no information other |
| than indices is available to associate an address with a device. |
| |
| Optional properties: |
| - phy-address : 1 cell, optional, MDIO address of the PHY. If absent, |
| a search is performed. |
| - phy-map : 1 cell, optional, bitmap of addresses to probe the PHY |
| for, used if phy-address is absent. bit 0x00000001 is |

| ii) McMAL node |
| |
| Required properties: |

| For Axon, "ibm,mcmal-axon","ibm,mcmal2" |
| - interrupts : <interrupt mapping for the MAL interrupts sources: |
| 5 sources: tx_eob, rx_eob, serr, txde, rxde>. |
| For Axon: This is _different_ from the current |
| firmware. We use the "delayed" interrupts for txeob |
| and rxeob. Thus we end up with mapping those 5 MPIC |
| interrupts, all level positive sensitive: 10, 11, 32, |
| 33, 34 (in decimal) |
| - dcr-reg : < DCR registers range > |
| - dcr-parent : if needed for dcr-reg |

| |
| iv) RGMII node |
| |
| Required properties: |

| |
| More devices will be defined as this spec matures. |
| |
| VII - Specifying interrupt information for devices |
| =================================================== |
| |
| The device tree represents the busses and devices of a hardware |
| system in a form similar to the physical bus topology of the |
| hardware. |
| |
| In addition, a logical 'interrupt tree' exists which represents the |
| hierarchy and routing of interrupts in the hardware. |
| |
| The interrupt tree model is fully described in the |
| document "Open Firmware Recommended Practice: Interrupt |
| Mapping Version 0.9". The document is available at: |
| <http://playground.sun.com/1275/practice>. |
| |
| 1) interrupts property |
| ---------------------- |
| |
| Devices that generate interrupts to a single interrupt controller |
| should use the conventional OF representation described in the |
| OF interrupt mapping documentation. |
| |
| Each device which generates interrupts must have an 'interrupt' |
| property. The interrupt property value is an arbitrary number of |
| of 'interrupt specifier' values which describe the interrupt or |
| interrupts for the device. |
| |
| The encoding of an interrupt specifier is determined by the |
| interrupt domain in which the device is located in the |
| interrupt tree. The root of an interrupt domain specifies in |
| its #interrupt-cells property the number of 32-bit cells |
| required to encode an interrupt specifier. See the OF interrupt |
| mapping documentation for a detailed description of domains. |
| |
| For example, the binding for the OpenPIC interrupt controller |
| specifies an #interrupt-cells value of 2 to encode the interrupt |
| number and level/sense information. All interrupt children in an |
| OpenPIC interrupt domain use 2 cells per interrupt in their interrupts |
| property. |
| |
| The PCI bus binding specifies a #interrupt-cell value of 1 to encode |
| which interrupt pin (INTA,INTB,INTC,INTD) is used. |
| |
| 2) interrupt-parent property |
| ---------------------------- |
| |
| The interrupt-parent property is specified to define an explicit |
| link between a device node and its interrupt parent in |
| the interrupt tree. The value of interrupt-parent is the |
| phandle of the parent node. |
| |
| If the interrupt-parent property is not defined for a node, it's |
| interrupt parent is assumed to be an ancestor in the node's |
| _device tree_ hierarchy. |
| |
| 3) OpenPIC Interrupt Controllers |
| -------------------------------- |
| |
| OpenPIC interrupt controllers require 2 cells to encode |
| interrupt information. The first cell defines the interrupt |
| number. The second cell defines the sense and level |
| information. |
| |
| Sense and level information should be encoded as follows: |
| |
| 0 = low to high edge sensitive type enabled |
| 1 = active low level sensitive type enabled |
| 2 = active high level sensitive type enabled |
| 3 = high to low edge sensitive type enabled |
| |
| 4) ISA Interrupt Controllers |
| ---------------------------- |
| |
| ISA PIC interrupt controllers require 2 cells to encode |
| interrupt information. The first cell defines the interrupt |
| number. The second cell defines the sense and level |
| information. |
| |
| ISA PIC interrupt controllers should adhere to the ISA PIC |
| encodings listed below: |
| |
| 0 = active low level sensitive type enabled |
| 1 = active high level sensitive type enabled |
| 2 = high to low edge sensitive type enabled |
| 3 = low to high edge sensitive type enabled |
| |
| |

| Note that the #address-cells and #size-cells for the SoC node |
| in this example have been explicitly listed; these are likely |
| not necessary as they are usually the same as the root node. |
