74
75 May 19, 2005: Rev 0.2 - Add chapter III and bits & pieces here or
76 clarifies the fact that a lot of things are
77 optional, the kernel only requires a very
78 small device tree, though it is encouraged
79 to provide an as complete one as possible.
80
81 May 24, 2005: Rev 0.3 - Precise that DT block has to be in RAM
82 - Misc fixes
83 - Define version 3 and new format version 16
84 for the DT block (version 16 needs kernel
85 patches, will be fwd separately).
86 String block now has a size, and full path
87 is replaced by unit name for more
88 compactness.
89 linux,phandle is made optional, only nodes
90 that are referenced by other nodes need it.
91 "name" property is now automatically
92 deduced from the unit name

95 OF_DT_END_NODE in structure definition.
96 - Change version 16 format to always align
97 property data to 4 bytes. Since tokens are
98 already aligned, that means no specific

130I - Introduction
131================
132
133During the recent development of the Linux/ppc64 kernel, and more
134specifically, the addition of new platform types outside of the old
135IBM pSeries/iSeries pair, it was decided to enforce some strict rules
136regarding the kernel entry and bootloader <-> kernel interfaces, in
137order to avoid the degeneration that had become the ppc32 kernel entry
138point and the way a new platform should be added to the kernel. The
139legacy iSeries platform breaks those rules as it predates this scheme,
140but no new board support will be accepted in the main tree that
141doesn't follows them properly. In addition, since the advent of the
142arch/powerpc merged architecture for ppc32 and ppc64, new 32-bit
143platforms and 32-bit platforms which move into arch/powerpc will be
144required to use these rules as well.
145
146The main requirement that will be defined in more detail below is
147the presence of a device-tree whose format is defined after Open
148Firmware specification. However, in order to make life easier
149to embedded board vendors, the kernel doesn't require the device-tree
150to represent every device in the system and only requires some nodes
151and properties to be present. This will be described in detail in
152section III, but, for example, the kernel does not require you to
153create a node for every PCI device in the system. It is a requirement
154to have a node for PCI host bridges in order to provide interrupt
155routing informations and memory/IO ranges, among others. It is also
156recommended to define nodes for on chip devices and other busses that
157don't specifically fit in an existing OF specification. This creates a
158great flexibility in the way the kernel can then probe those and match
159drivers to device, without having to hard code all sorts of tables. It
160also makes it more flexible for board vendors to do minor hardware
161upgrades without significantly impacting the kernel code or cluttering
162it with special cases.
163
164
1651) Entry point for arch/powerpc
166-------------------------------
167
168 There is one and one single entry point to the kernel, at the start
169 of the kernel image. That entry point supports two calling
170 conventions:
171
172 a) Boot from Open Firmware. If your firmware is compatible
173 with Open Firmware (IEEE 1275) or provides an OF compatible
174 client interface API (support for "interpret" callback of
175 forth words isn't required), you can enter the kernel with:
176
177 r5 : OF callback pointer as defined by IEEE 1275
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100178 bindings to powerpc. Only the 32-bit client interface
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800179 is currently supported
180
181 r3, r4 : address & length of an initrd if any or 0
182
183 The MMU is either on or off; the kernel will run the
184 trampoline located in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c to
185 extract the device-tree and other information from open
186 firmware and build a flattened device-tree as described
187 in b). prom_init() will then re-enter the kernel using
188 the second method. This trampoline code runs in the
189 context of the firmware, which is supposed to handle all
190 exceptions during that time.
191
192 b) Direct entry with a flattened device-tree block. This entry
193 point is called by a) after the OF trampoline and can also be
194 called directly by a bootloader that does not support the Open
195 Firmware client interface. It is also used by "kexec" to
196 implement "hot" booting of a new kernel from a previous
197 running one. This method is what I will describe in more
198 details in this document, as method a) is simply standard Open
199 Firmware, and thus should be implemented according to the
200 various standard documents defining it and its binding to the
201 PowerPC platform. The entry point definition then becomes:
202
203 r3 : physical pointer to the device-tree block
204 (defined in chapter II) in RAM
205
206 r4 : physical pointer to the kernel itself. This is
207 used by the assembly code to properly disable the MMU
208 in case you are entering the kernel with MMU enabled
209 and a non-1:1 mapping.
210
Matt LaPlante2fe0ae72006-10-03 22:50:39 +0200211 r5 : NULL (as to differentiate with method a)
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800212
213 Note about SMP entry: Either your firmware puts your other
214 CPUs in some sleep loop or spin loop in ROM where you can get
215 them out via a soft reset or some other means, in which case
216 you don't need to care, or you'll have to enter the kernel
217 with all CPUs. The way to do that with method b) will be
218 described in a later revision of this document.
219
220
2212) Board support
222----------------
223
22464-bit kernels:
225
226 Board supports (platforms) are not exclusive config options. An
227 arbitrary set of board supports can be built in a single kernel
228 image. The kernel will "know" what set of functions to use for a
229 given platform based on the content of the device-tree. Thus, you
230 should:
231
232 a) add your platform support as a _boolean_ option in
233 arch/powerpc/Kconfig, following the example of PPC_PSERIES,
234 PPC_PMAC and PPC_MAPLE. The later is probably a good
235 example of a board support to start from.
236
237 b) create your main platform file as
238 "arch/powerpc/platforms/myplatform/myboard_setup.c" and add it
239 to the Makefile under the condition of your CONFIG_
240 option. This file will define a structure of type "ppc_md"
241 containing the various callbacks that the generic code will
242 use to get to your platform specific code
243
244 c) Add a reference to your "ppc_md" structure in the
245 "machines" table in arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c if you are
246 a 64-bit platform.
247
248 d) request and get assigned a platform number (see PLATFORM_*
249 constants in include/asm-powerpc/processor.h
250
25132-bit embedded kernels:
252
253 Currently, board support is essentially an exclusive config option.
254 The kernel is configured for a single platform. Part of the reason
255 for this is to keep kernels on embedded systems small and efficient;
256 part of this is due to the fact the code is already that way. In the
257 future, a kernel may support multiple platforms, but only if the
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100258 platforms feature the same core architecture. A single kernel build
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800259 cannot support both configurations with Book E and configurations
260 with classic Powerpc architectures.
261
262 32-bit embedded platforms that are moved into arch/powerpc using a
263 flattened device tree should adopt the merged tree practice of
264 setting ppc_md up dynamically, even though the kernel is currently
265 built with support for only a single platform at a time. This allows
266 unification of the setup code, and will make it easier to go to a
267 multiple-platform-support model in the future.
268
269NOTE: I believe the above will be true once Ben's done with the merge
270of the boot sequences.... someone speak up if this is wrong!
271
272 To add a 32-bit embedded platform support, follow the instructions
273 for 64-bit platforms above, with the exception that the Kconfig
274 option should be set up such that the kernel builds exclusively for
275 the platform selected. The processor type for the platform should
276 enable another config option to select the specific board
277 supported.
278
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100279NOTE: If Ben doesn't merge the setup files, may need to change this to
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800280point to setup_32.c
281
282
283 I will describe later the boot process and various callbacks that
284 your platform should implement.
285
286
287II - The DT block format
288========================
289
290
291This chapter defines the actual format of the flattened device-tree
292passed to the kernel. The actual content of it and kernel requirements
293are described later. You can find example of code manipulating that
294format in various places, including arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c
295which will generate a flattened device-tree from the Open Firmware
296representation, or the fs2dt utility which is part of the kexec tools
297which will generate one from a filesystem representation. It is
298expected that a bootloader like uboot provides a bit more support,
299that will be discussed later as well.
300
301Note: The block has to be in main memory. It has to be accessible in
302both real mode and virtual mode with no mapping other than main
303memory. If you are writing a simple flash bootloader, it should copy
304the block to RAM before passing it to the kernel.
305
306
3071) Header
308---------
309
310 The kernel is entered with r3 pointing to an area of memory that is
Matt LaPlanted6bc8ac2006-10-03 22:54:15 +0200311 roughly described in include/asm-powerpc/prom.h by the structure
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800312 boot_param_header:
313
314struct boot_param_header {
315 u32 magic; /* magic word OF_DT_HEADER */
316 u32 totalsize; /* total size of DT block */
317 u32 off_dt_struct; /* offset to structure */
318 u32 off_dt_strings; /* offset to strings */
319 u32 off_mem_rsvmap; /* offset to memory reserve map
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100320 */
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800321 u32 version; /* format version */
322 u32 last_comp_version; /* last compatible version */
323
324 /* version 2 fields below */
325 u32 boot_cpuid_phys; /* Which physical CPU id we're
326 booting on */
327 /* version 3 fields below */
328 u32 size_dt_strings; /* size of the strings block */
David Gibson0e0293c2007-03-14 11:50:40 +1100329
330 /* version 17 fields below */
331 u32 size_dt_struct; /* size of the DT structure block */
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800332};
333
334 Along with the constants:
335
336/* Definitions used by the flattened device tree */
337#define OF_DT_HEADER 0xd00dfeed /* 4: version,
338 4: total size */
339#define OF_DT_BEGIN_NODE 0x1 /* Start node: full name
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100340 */
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800341#define OF_DT_END_NODE 0x2 /* End node */
342#define OF_DT_PROP 0x3 /* Property: name off,
343 size, content */
344#define OF_DT_END 0x9
345
346 All values in this header are in big endian format, the various
347 fields in this header are defined more precisely below. All
348 "offset" values are in bytes from the start of the header; that is
349 from the value of r3.
350
351 - magic
352
353 This is a magic value that "marks" the beginning of the
354 device-tree block header. It contains the value 0xd00dfeed and is
355 defined by the constant OF_DT_HEADER
356
357 - totalsize
358
359 This is the total size of the DT block including the header. The
360 "DT" block should enclose all data structures defined in this
361 chapter (who are pointed to by offsets in this header). That is,
362 the device-tree structure, strings, and the memory reserve map.
363
364 - off_dt_struct
365
366 This is an offset from the beginning of the header to the start
367 of the "structure" part the device tree. (see 2) device tree)
368
369 - off_dt_strings
370
371 This is an offset from the beginning of the header to the start
372 of the "strings" part of the device-tree
373
374 - off_mem_rsvmap
375
376 This is an offset from the beginning of the header to the start
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100377 of the reserved memory map. This map is a list of pairs of 64-
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800378 bit integers. Each pair is a physical address and a size. The
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800379 list is terminated by an entry of size 0. This map provides the
380 kernel with a list of physical memory areas that are "reserved"
381 and thus not to be used for memory allocations, especially during
382 early initialization. The kernel needs to allocate memory during
383 boot for things like un-flattening the device-tree, allocating an
384 MMU hash table, etc... Those allocations must be done in such a
385 way to avoid overriding critical things like, on Open Firmware
386 capable machines, the RTAS instance, or on some pSeries, the TCE
387 tables used for the iommu. Typically, the reserve map should
388 contain _at least_ this DT block itself (header,total_size). If
389 you are passing an initrd to the kernel, you should reserve it as
390 well. You do not need to reserve the kernel image itself. The map
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100391 should be 64-bit aligned.
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800392
393 - version
394
395 This is the version of this structure. Version 1 stops
396 here. Version 2 adds an additional field boot_cpuid_phys.
397 Version 3 adds the size of the strings block, allowing the kernel
398 to reallocate it easily at boot and free up the unused flattened
399 structure after expansion. Version 16 introduces a new more
400 "compact" format for the tree itself that is however not backward
David Gibson0e0293c2007-03-14 11:50:40 +1100401 compatible. Version 17 adds an additional field, size_dt_struct,
402 allowing it to be reallocated or moved more easily (this is
403 particularly useful for bootloaders which need to make
404 adjustments to a device tree based on probed information). You
405 should always generate a structure of the highest version defined
406 at the time of your implementation. Currently that is version 17,
407 unless you explicitly aim at being backward compatible.
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800408
409 - last_comp_version
410
411 Last compatible version. This indicates down to what version of
412 the DT block you are backward compatible. For example, version 2
413 is backward compatible with version 1 (that is, a kernel build
414 for version 1 will be able to boot with a version 2 format). You
415 should put a 1 in this field if you generate a device tree of
David Gibson0e0293c2007-03-14 11:50:40 +1100416 version 1 to 3, or 16 if you generate a tree of version 16 or 17
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800417 using the new unit name format.
418
419 - boot_cpuid_phys
420
421 This field only exist on version 2 headers. It indicate which
422 physical CPU ID is calling the kernel entry point. This is used,
423 among others, by kexec. If you are on an SMP system, this value
424 should match the content of the "reg" property of the CPU node in
425 the device-tree corresponding to the CPU calling the kernel entry
426 point (see further chapters for more informations on the required
427 device-tree contents)
428
David Gibson0e0293c2007-03-14 11:50:40 +1100429 - size_dt_strings
430
431 This field only exists on version 3 and later headers. It
432 gives the size of the "strings" section of the device tree (which
433 starts at the offset given by off_dt_strings).
434
435 - size_dt_struct
436
437 This field only exists on version 17 and later headers. It gives
438 the size of the "structure" section of the device tree (which
439 starts at the offset given by off_dt_struct).
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800440
441 So the typical layout of a DT block (though the various parts don't
442 need to be in that order) looks like this (addresses go from top to
443 bottom):
444

473
4742) Device tree generalities
475---------------------------
476
477This device-tree itself is separated in two different blocks, a
478structure block and a strings block. Both need to be aligned to a 4
479byte boundary.
480
481First, let's quickly describe the device-tree concept before detailing
482the storage format. This chapter does _not_ describe the detail of the
483required types of nodes & properties for the kernel, this is done
484later in chapter III.
485
486The device-tree layout is strongly inherited from the definition of
487the Open Firmware IEEE 1275 device-tree. It's basically a tree of
488nodes, each node having two or more named properties. A property can
489have a value or not.
490
491It is a tree, so each node has one and only one parent except for the
492root node who has no parent.
493
494A node has 2 names. The actual node name is generally contained in a
495property of type "name" in the node property list whose value is a
496zero terminated string and is mandatory for version 1 to 3 of the
David Gibson0e0293c2007-03-14 11:50:40 +1100497format definition (as it is in Open Firmware). Version 16 makes it
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800498optional as it can generate it from the unit name defined below.
499
Matt LaPlante2fe0ae72006-10-03 22:50:39 +0200500There is also a "unit name" that is used to differentiate nodes with
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800501the same name at the same level, it is usually made of the node
Matt LaPlante2fe0ae72006-10-03 22:50:39 +0200502names, the "@" sign, and a "unit address", which definition is
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800503specific to the bus type the node sits on.
504
505The unit name doesn't exist as a property per-se but is included in
506the device-tree structure. It is typically used to represent "path" in
507the device-tree. More details about the actual format of these will be
508below.
509
510The kernel powerpc generic code does not make any formal use of the
511unit address (though some board support code may do) so the only real
512requirement here for the unit address is to ensure uniqueness of
513the node unit name at a given level of the tree. Nodes with no notion
514of address and no possible sibling of the same name (like /memory or
515/cpus) may omit the unit address in the context of this specification,
516or use the "@0" default unit address. The unit name is used to define
517a node "full path", which is the concatenation of all parent node
518unit names separated with "/".
519
520The root node doesn't have a defined name, and isn't required to have
521a name property either if you are using version 3 or earlier of the
522format. It also has no unit address (no @ symbol followed by a unit
523address). The root node unit name is thus an empty string. The full
524path to the root node is "/".
525
526Every node which actually represents an actual device (that is, a node
527which isn't only a virtual "container" for more nodes, like "/cpus"
528is) is also required to have a "device_type" property indicating the
529type of node .
530
531Finally, every node that can be referenced from a property in another
532node is required to have a "linux,phandle" property. Real open
533firmware implementations provide a unique "phandle" value for every
534node that the "prom_init()" trampoline code turns into
535"linux,phandle" properties. However, this is made optional if the
536flattened device tree is used directly. An example of a node
537referencing another node via "phandle" is when laying out the
538interrupt tree which will be described in a further version of this
539document.
540
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100541This "linux, phandle" property is a 32-bit value that uniquely
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800542identifies a node. You are free to use whatever values or system of
543values, internal pointers, or whatever to generate these, the only
544requirement is that every node for which you provide that property has
545a unique value for it.
546
547Here is an example of a simple device-tree. In this example, an "o"
548designates a node followed by the node unit name. Properties are
549presented with their name followed by their content. "content"
550represents an ASCII string (zero terminated) value, while <content>
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100551represents a 32-bit hexadecimal value. The various nodes in this
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800552example will be discussed in a later chapter. At this point, it is
553only meant to give you a idea of what a device-tree looks like. I have
554purposefully kept the "name" and "linux,phandle" properties which
555aren't necessary in order to give you a better idea of what the tree
556looks like in practice.
557
558 / o device-tree
559 |- name = "device-tree"
560 |- model = "MyBoardName"
561 |- compatible = "MyBoardFamilyName"
562 |- #address-cells = <2>
563 |- #size-cells = <2>
564 |- linux,phandle = <0>
565 |
566 o cpus
567 | | - name = "cpus"
568 | | - linux,phandle = <1>
569 | | - #address-cells = <1>
570 | | - #size-cells = <0>
571 | |
572 | o PowerPC,970@0
573 | |- name = "PowerPC,970"
574 | |- device_type = "cpu"
575 | |- reg = <0>
576 | |- clock-frequency = <5f5e1000>
Timur Tabi32aed2a2007-02-14 15:29:07 -0600577 | |- 64-bit
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800578 | |- linux,phandle = <2>
579 |
580 o memory@0
581 | |- name = "memory"
582 | |- device_type = "memory"
583 | |- reg = <00000000 00000000 00000000 20000000>
584 | |- linux,phandle = <3>
585 |
586 o chosen
587 |- name = "chosen"
588 |- bootargs = "root=/dev/sda2"
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800589 |- linux,phandle = <4>
590
591This tree is almost a minimal tree. It pretty much contains the
592minimal set of required nodes and properties to boot a linux kernel;
593that is, some basic model informations at the root, the CPUs, and the
594physical memory layout. It also includes misc information passed
595through /chosen, like in this example, the platform type (mandatory)
596and the kernel command line arguments (optional).
597
Timur Tabi32aed2a2007-02-14 15:29:07 -0600598The /cpus/PowerPC,970@0/64-bit property is an example of a
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800599property without a value. All other properties have a value. The
600significance of the #address-cells and #size-cells properties will be
601explained in chapter IV which defines precisely the required nodes and
602properties and their content.
603
604
6053) Device tree "structure" block
606
607The structure of the device tree is a linearized tree structure. The
608"OF_DT_BEGIN_NODE" token starts a new node, and the "OF_DT_END_NODE"
609ends that node definition. Child nodes are simply defined before
610"OF_DT_END_NODE" (that is nodes within the node). A 'token' is a 32
611bit value. The tree has to be "finished" with a OF_DT_END token
612
613Here's the basic structure of a single node:
614
615 * token OF_DT_BEGIN_NODE (that is 0x00000001)
616 * for version 1 to 3, this is the node full path as a zero
617 terminated string, starting with "/". For version 16 and later,
618 this is the node unit name only (or an empty string for the
619 root node)
620 * [align gap to next 4 bytes boundary]
621 * for each property:
622 * token OF_DT_PROP (that is 0x00000003)
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100623 * 32-bit value of property value size in bytes (or 0 if no
624 value)
625 * 32-bit value of offset in string block of property name
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800626 * property value data if any
627 * [align gap to next 4 bytes boundary]
628 * [child nodes if any]
629 * token OF_DT_END_NODE (that is 0x00000002)
630
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100631So the node content can be summarized as a start token, a full path,
Matt LaPlante53cb4722006-10-03 22:55:17 +0200632a list of properties, a list of child nodes, and an end token. Every
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800633child node is a full node structure itself as defined above.
634
David Gibsoneff2ebd2007-06-28 15:56:26 +1000635NOTE: The above definition requires that all property definitions for
636a particular node MUST precede any subnode definitions for that node.
637Although the structure would not be ambiguous if properties and
638subnodes were intermingled, the kernel parser requires that the
639properties come first (up until at least 2.6.22). Any tools
640manipulating a flattened tree must take care to preserve this
641constraint.
642
Matt LaPlante53cb4722006-10-03 22:55:17 +02006434) Device tree "strings" block
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800644
645In order to save space, property names, which are generally redundant,
646are stored separately in the "strings" block. This block is simply the
647whole bunch of zero terminated strings for all property names
648concatenated together. The device-tree property definitions in the
649structure block will contain offset values from the beginning of the
650strings block.
651
652
653III - Required content of the device tree
654=========================================
655
656WARNING: All "linux,*" properties defined in this document apply only
657to a flattened device-tree. If your platform uses a real
658implementation of Open Firmware or an implementation compatible with
659the Open Firmware client interface, those properties will be created
660by the trampoline code in the kernel's prom_init() file. For example,
661that's where you'll have to add code to detect your board model and
Matt LaPlantea2ffd272006-10-03 22:49:15 +0200662set the platform number. However, when using the flattened device-tree
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800663entry point, there is no prom_init() pass, and thus you have to
664provide those properties yourself.
665
666
6671) Note about cells and address representation
668----------------------------------------------
669
670The general rule is documented in the various Open Firmware
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100671documentations. If you choose to describe a bus with the device-tree
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800672and there exist an OF bus binding, then you should follow the
673specification. However, the kernel does not require every single
674device or bus to be described by the device tree.
675
676In general, the format of an address for a device is defined by the
677parent bus type, based on the #address-cells and #size-cells
Mark A. Greer5b14e5f2008-01-04 02:40:47 +1100678properties. Note that the parent's parent definitions of #address-cells
679and #size-cells are not inhereted so every node with children must specify
680them. The kernel requires the root node to have those properties defining
681addresses format for devices directly mapped on the processor bus.
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800682
683Those 2 properties define 'cells' for representing an address and a
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100684size. A "cell" is a 32-bit number. For example, if both contain 2
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800685like the example tree given above, then an address and a size are both
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100686composed of 2 cells, and each is a 64-bit number (cells are
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800687concatenated and expected to be in big endian format). Another example
688is the way Apple firmware defines them, with 2 cells for an address
689and one cell for a size. Most 32-bit implementations should define
690#address-cells and #size-cells to 1, which represents a 32-bit value.
691Some 32-bit processors allow for physical addresses greater than 32
692bits; these processors should define #address-cells as 2.
693
694"reg" properties are always a tuple of the type "address size" where
695the number of cells of address and size is specified by the bus
696#address-cells and #size-cells. When a bus supports various address
697spaces and other flags relative to a given address allocation (like
698prefetchable, etc...) those flags are usually added to the top level
699bits of the physical address. For example, a PCI physical address is
700made of 3 cells, the bottom two containing the actual address itself
701while the top cell contains address space indication, flags, and pci
702bus & device numbers.
703
704For busses that support dynamic allocation, it's the accepted practice
705to then not provide the address in "reg" (keep it 0) though while
706providing a flag indicating the address is dynamically allocated, and
707then, to provide a separate "assigned-addresses" property that
708contains the fully allocated addresses. See the PCI OF bindings for
709details.
710
711In general, a simple bus with no address space bits and no dynamic
712allocation is preferred if it reflects your hardware, as the existing
713kernel address parsing functions will work out of the box. If you
714define a bus type with a more complex address format, including things
715like address space bits, you'll have to add a bus translator to the
716prom_parse.c file of the recent kernels for your bus type.
717
Stephen Neuendorffere1fd1862007-12-04 12:08:57 +1100718The "reg" property only defines addresses and sizes (if #size-cells is
719non-0) within a given bus. In order to translate addresses upward
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100720(that is into parent bus addresses, and possibly into CPU physical
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800721addresses), all busses must contain a "ranges" property. If the
722"ranges" property is missing at a given level, it's assumed that
Stephen Neuendorffere1fd1862007-12-04 12:08:57 +1100723translation isn't possible, i.e., the registers are not visible on the
724parent bus. The format of the "ranges" property for a bus is a list
725of:
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800726
727 bus address, parent bus address, size
728
729"bus address" is in the format of the bus this bus node is defining,
730that is, for a PCI bridge, it would be a PCI address. Thus, (bus
731address, size) defines a range of addresses for child devices. "parent
732bus address" is in the format of the parent bus of this bus. For
733example, for a PCI host controller, that would be a CPU address. For a
734PCI<->ISA bridge, that would be a PCI address. It defines the base
735address in the parent bus where the beginning of that range is mapped.
736
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100737For a new 64-bit powerpc board, I recommend either the 2/2 format or
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800738Apple's 2/1 format which is slightly more compact since sizes usually
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100739fit in a single 32-bit word. New 32-bit powerpc boards should use a
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08007401/1 format, unless the processor supports physical addresses greater
741than 32-bits, in which case a 2/1 format is recommended.
742
Stephen Neuendorffere1fd1862007-12-04 12:08:57 +1100743Alternatively, the "ranges" property may be empty, indicating that the
744registers are visible on the parent bus using an identity mapping
745translation. In other words, the parent bus address space is the same
746as the child bus address space.
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800747
7482) Note about "compatible" properties
749-------------------------------------
750
751These properties are optional, but recommended in devices and the root
752node. The format of a "compatible" property is a list of concatenated
753zero terminated strings. They allow a device to express its
754compatibility with a family of similar devices, in some cases,
755allowing a single driver to match against several devices regardless
756of their actual names.
757
7583) Note about "name" properties
759-------------------------------
760
761While earlier users of Open Firmware like OldWorld macintoshes tended
762to use the actual device name for the "name" property, it's nowadays
763considered a good practice to use a name that is closer to the device
764class (often equal to device_type). For example, nowadays, ethernet
765controllers are named "ethernet", an additional "model" property
766defining precisely the chip type/model, and "compatible" property
767defining the family in case a single driver can driver more than one
768of these chips. However, the kernel doesn't generally put any
769restriction on the "name" property; it is simply considered good
770practice to follow the standard and its evolutions as closely as
771possible.
772
773Note also that the new format version 16 makes the "name" property
774optional. If it's absent for a node, then the node's unit name is then
775used to reconstruct the name. That is, the part of the unit name
776before the "@" sign is used (or the entire unit name if no "@" sign
777is present).
778
7794) Note about node and property names and character set
780-------------------------------------------------------
781
Matt LaPlantea2ffd272006-10-03 22:49:15 +0200782While open firmware provides more flexible usage of 8859-1, this
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800783specification enforces more strict rules. Nodes and properties should
784be comprised only of ASCII characters 'a' to 'z', '0' to
785'9', ',', '.', '_', '+', '#', '?', and '-'. Node names additionally
786allow uppercase characters 'A' to 'Z' (property names should be
787lowercase. The fact that vendors like Apple don't respect this rule is
788irrelevant here). Additionally, node and property names should always
789begin with a character in the range 'a' to 'z' (or 'A' to 'Z' for node
790names).
791
792The maximum number of characters for both nodes and property names
793is 31. In the case of node names, this is only the leftmost part of
794a unit name (the pure "name" property), it doesn't include the unit
795address which can extend beyond that limit.
796
797
7985) Required nodes and properties
799--------------------------------
800 These are all that are currently required. However, it is strongly
801 recommended that you expose PCI host bridges as documented in the
802 PCI binding to open firmware, and your interrupt tree as documented
803 in OF interrupt tree specification.
804
805 a) The root node
806
807 The root node requires some properties to be present:
808
809 - model : this is your board name/model
810 - #address-cells : address representation for "root" devices
811 - #size-cells: the size representation for "root" devices
Benjamin Herrenschmidte8222502006-03-28 23:15:54 +1100812 - device_type : This property shouldn't be necessary. However, if
813 you decide to create a device_type for your root node, make sure it
814 is _not_ "chrp" unless your platform is a pSeries or PAPR compliant
815 one for 64-bit, or a CHRP-type machine for 32-bit as this will
816 matched by the kernel this way.
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800817
818 Additionally, some recommended properties are:
819
820 - compatible : the board "family" generally finds its way here,
821 for example, if you have 2 board models with a similar layout,
822 that typically get driven by the same platform code in the
823 kernel, you would use a different "model" property but put a
824 value in "compatible". The kernel doesn't directly use that
Stuart Yoder143a42d2007-02-16 11:30:29 -0600825 value but it is generally useful.
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800826
827 The root node is also generally where you add additional properties
828 specific to your board like the serial number if any, that sort of
Matt LaPlante6c28f2c2006-10-03 22:46:31 +0200829 thing. It is recommended that if you add any "custom" property whose
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800830 name may clash with standard defined ones, you prefix them with your
831 vendor name and a comma.
832
833 b) The /cpus node
834
835 This node is the parent of all individual CPU nodes. It doesn't
836 have any specific requirements, though it's generally good practice
837 to have at least:
838
839 #address-cells = <00000001>
840 #size-cells = <00000000>
841
842 This defines that the "address" for a CPU is a single cell, and has
843 no meaningful size. This is not necessary but the kernel will assume
844 that format when reading the "reg" properties of a CPU node, see
845 below
846
847 c) The /cpus/* nodes
848
849 So under /cpus, you are supposed to create a node for every CPU on
850 the machine. There is no specific restriction on the name of the
851 CPU, though It's common practice to call it PowerPC,<name>. For
852 example, Apple uses PowerPC,G5 while IBM uses PowerPC,970FX.
853
854 Required properties:
855
856 - device_type : has to be "cpu"
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100857 - reg : This is the physical CPU number, it's a single 32-bit cell
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800858 and is also used as-is as the unit number for constructing the
859 unit name in the full path. For example, with 2 CPUs, you would
860 have the full path:
861 /cpus/PowerPC,970FX@0
862 /cpus/PowerPC,970FX@1
863 (unit addresses do not require leading zeroes)
Benjamin Herrenschmidt20474ab2007-10-28 08:49:28 +1100864 - d-cache-block-size : one cell, L1 data cache block size in bytes (*)
865 - i-cache-block-size : one cell, L1 instruction cache block size in
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800866 bytes
867 - d-cache-size : one cell, size of L1 data cache in bytes
868 - i-cache-size : one cell, size of L1 instruction cache in bytes
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800869
Benjamin Herrenschmidt20474ab2007-10-28 08:49:28 +1100870(*) The cache "block" size is the size on which the cache management
871instructions operate. Historically, this document used the cache
872"line" size here which is incorrect. The kernel will prefer the cache
873block size and will fallback to cache line size for backward
874compatibility.
875
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800876 Recommended properties:
877
878 - timebase-frequency : a cell indicating the frequency of the
879 timebase in Hz. This is not directly used by the generic code,
880 but you are welcome to copy/paste the pSeries code for setting
881 the kernel timebase/decrementer calibration based on this
882 value.
883 - clock-frequency : a cell indicating the CPU core clock frequency
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +1100884 in Hz. A new property will be defined for 64-bit values, but if
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800885 your frequency is < 4Ghz, one cell is enough. Here as well as
886 for the above, the common code doesn't use that property, but
887 you are welcome to re-use the pSeries or Maple one. A future
888 kernel version might provide a common function for this.
Benjamin Herrenschmidt20474ab2007-10-28 08:49:28 +1100889 - d-cache-line-size : one cell, L1 data cache line size in bytes
890 if different from the block size
891 - i-cache-line-size : one cell, L1 instruction cache line size in
892 bytes if different from the block size
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800893
894 You are welcome to add any property you find relevant to your board,
895 like some information about the mechanism used to soft-reset the
896 CPUs. For example, Apple puts the GPIO number for CPU soft reset
897 lines in there as a "soft-reset" property since they start secondary
898 CPUs by soft-resetting them.
899
900
901 d) the /memory node(s)
902
903 To define the physical memory layout of your board, you should
904 create one or more memory node(s). You can either create a single
905 node with all memory ranges in its reg property, or you can create
906 several nodes, as you wish. The unit address (@ part) used for the
907 full path is the address of the first range of memory defined by a
908 given node. If you use a single memory node, this will typically be
909 @0.
910
911 Required properties:
912
913 - device_type : has to be "memory"
914 - reg : This property contains all the physical memory ranges of
915 your board. It's a list of addresses/sizes concatenated
916 together, with the number of cells of each defined by the
917 #address-cells and #size-cells of the root node. For example,
Matt LaPlante6c28f2c2006-10-03 22:46:31 +0200918 with both of these properties being 2 like in the example given
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800919 earlier, a 970 based machine with 6Gb of RAM could typically
920 have a "reg" property here that looks like:
921
922 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000000
923 00000001 00000000 00000001 00000000
924
925 That is a range starting at 0 of 0x80000000 bytes and a range
926 starting at 0x100000000 and of 0x100000000 bytes. You can see
927 that there is no memory covering the IO hole between 2Gb and
928 4Gb. Some vendors prefer splitting those ranges into smaller
929 segments, but the kernel doesn't care.
930
931 e) The /chosen node
932
933 This node is a bit "special". Normally, that's where open firmware
934 puts some variable environment information, like the arguments, or
Stuart Yoderd1bff9e2007-02-19 11:25:05 -0600935 the default input/output devices.
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800936
937 This specification makes a few of these mandatory, but also defines
938 some linux-specific properties that would be normally constructed by
939 the prom_init() trampoline when booting with an OF client interface,
940 but that you have to provide yourself when using the flattened format.
941
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800942 Recommended properties:
943
944 - bootargs : This zero-terminated string is passed as the kernel
945 command line
946 - linux,stdout-path : This is the full path to your standard
947 console device if any. Typically, if you have serial devices on
948 your board, you may want to put the full path to the one set as
949 the default console in the firmware here, for the kernel to pick
Matt LaPlante5d3f0832006-11-30 05:21:10 +0100950 it up as its own default console. If you look at the function
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800951 set_preferred_console() in arch/ppc64/kernel/setup.c, you'll see
952 that the kernel tries to find out the default console and has
953 knowledge of various types like 8250 serial ports. You may want
954 to extend this function to add your own.
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800955
956 Note that u-boot creates and fills in the chosen node for platforms
957 that use it.
958
Stuart Yoderd1bff9e2007-02-19 11:25:05 -0600959 (Note: a practice that is now obsolete was to include a property
960 under /chosen called interrupt-controller which had a phandle value
961 that pointed to the main interrupt controller)
962
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800963 f) the /soc<SOCname> node
964
965 This node is used to represent a system-on-a-chip (SOC) and must be
966 present if the processor is a SOC. The top-level soc node contains
967 information that is global to all devices on the SOC. The node name
968 should contain a unit address for the SOC, which is the base address
969 of the memory-mapped register set for the SOC. The name of an soc
970 node should start with "soc", and the remainder of the name should
971 represent the part number for the soc. For example, the MPC8540's
972 soc node would be called "soc8540".
973
974 Required properties:
975
976 - device_type : Should be "soc"
977 - ranges : Should be defined as specified in 1) to describe the
978 translation of SOC addresses for memory mapped SOC registers.
Becky Bruce7d4b95a2006-02-06 14:26:31 -0600979 - bus-frequency: Contains the bus frequency for the SOC node.
980 Typically, the value of this field is filled in by the boot
981 loader.
982
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800983
984 Recommended properties:
985
986 - reg : This property defines the address and size of the
987 memory-mapped registers that are used for the SOC node itself.
988 It does not include the child device registers - these will be
989 defined inside each child node. The address specified in the
990 "reg" property should match the unit address of the SOC node.
991 - #address-cells : Address representation for "soc" devices. The
992 format of this field may vary depending on whether or not the
993 device registers are memory mapped. For memory mapped
994 registers, this field represents the number of cells needed to
995 represent the address of the registers. For SOCs that do not
996 use MMIO, a special address format should be defined that
997 contains enough cells to represent the required information.
998 See 1) above for more details on defining #address-cells.
999 - #size-cells : Size representation for "soc" devices
1000 - #interrupt-cells : Defines the width of cells used to represent
1001 interrupts. Typically this value is <2>, which includes a
1002 32-bit number that represents the interrupt number, and a
1003 32-bit number that represents the interrupt sense and level.
1004 This field is only needed if the SOC contains an interrupt
1005 controller.
1006
1007 The SOC node may contain child nodes for each SOC device that the
1008 platform uses. Nodes should not be created for devices which exist
1009 on the SOC but are not used by a particular platform. See chapter VI
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +11001010 for more information on how to specify devices that are part of a SOC.
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001011
1012 Example SOC node for the MPC8540:
1013
1014 soc8540@e0000000 {
1015 #address-cells = <1>;
1016 #size-cells = <1>;
1017 #interrupt-cells = <2>;
1018 device_type = "soc";
1019 ranges = <00000000 e0000000 00100000>
1020 reg = <e0000000 00003000>;
Becky Bruce7d4b95a2006-02-06 14:26:31 -06001021 bus-frequency = <0>;
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001022 }
1023
1024
1025
1026IV - "dtc", the device tree compiler
1027====================================
1028
1029
1030dtc source code can be found at
1031<http://ozlabs.org/~dgibson/dtc/dtc.tar.gz>
1032
1033WARNING: This version is still in early development stage; the
1034resulting device-tree "blobs" have not yet been validated with the
1035kernel. The current generated bloc lacks a useful reserve map (it will
1036be fixed to generate an empty one, it's up to the bootloader to fill
1037it up) among others. The error handling needs work, bugs are lurking,
1038etc...
1039
1040dtc basically takes a device-tree in a given format and outputs a
1041device-tree in another format. The currently supported formats are:
1042
1043 Input formats:
1044 -------------
1045
1046 - "dtb": "blob" format, that is a flattened device-tree block
1047 with
1048 header all in a binary blob.
1049 - "dts": "source" format. This is a text file containing a
1050 "source" for a device-tree. The format is defined later in this
1051 chapter.
1052 - "fs" format. This is a representation equivalent to the
1053 output of /proc/device-tree, that is nodes are directories and
1054 properties are files
1055
1056 Output formats:
1057 ---------------
1058
1059 - "dtb": "blob" format
1060 - "dts": "source" format
1061 - "asm": assembly language file. This is a file that can be
1062 sourced by gas to generate a device-tree "blob". That file can
1063 then simply be added to your Makefile. Additionally, the
Matt LaPlante6c28f2c2006-10-03 22:46:31 +02001064 assembly file exports some symbols that can be used.
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001065
1066
1067The syntax of the dtc tool is
1068
1069 dtc [-I <input-format>] [-O <output-format>]
1070 [-o output-filename] [-V output_version] input_filename
1071
1072
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +11001073The "output_version" defines what version of the "blob" format will be
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001074generated. Supported versions are 1,2,3 and 16. The default is
1075currently version 3 but that may change in the future to version 16.
1076
1077Additionally, dtc performs various sanity checks on the tree, like the
Matt LaPlante6c28f2c2006-10-03 22:46:31 +02001078uniqueness of linux, phandle properties, validity of strings, etc...
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001079
1080The format of the .dts "source" file is "C" like, supports C and C++
Matt LaPlante6c28f2c2006-10-03 22:46:31 +02001081style comments.
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001082
1083/ {
1084}
1085
1086The above is the "device-tree" definition. It's the only statement
1087supported currently at the toplevel.
1088
1089/ {
1090 property1 = "string_value"; /* define a property containing a 0
1091 * terminated string
1092 */
1093
1094 property2 = <1234abcd>; /* define a property containing a
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +11001095 * numerical 32-bit value (hexadecimal)
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001096 */
1097
1098 property3 = <12345678 12345678 deadbeef>;
1099 /* define a property containing 3
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +11001100 * numerical 32-bit values (cells) in
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001101 * hexadecimal
1102 */
1103 property4 = [0a 0b 0c 0d de ea ad be ef];
1104 /* define a property whose content is
1105 * an arbitrary array of bytes
1106 */
1107
1108 childnode@addresss { /* define a child node named "childnode"
1109 * whose unit name is "childnode at
1110 * address"
1111 */
1112
1113 childprop = "hello\n"; /* define a property "childprop" of
1114 * childnode (in this case, a string)
1115 */
1116 };
1117};
1118
1119Nodes can contain other nodes etc... thus defining the hierarchical
1120structure of the tree.
1121
1122Strings support common escape sequences from C: "\n", "\t", "\r",
1123"\(octal value)", "\x(hex value)".
1124
1125It is also suggested that you pipe your source file through cpp (gcc
1126preprocessor) so you can use #include's, #define for constants, etc...
1127
1128Finally, various options are planned but not yet implemented, like
1129automatic generation of phandles, labels (exported to the asm file so
1130you can point to a property content and change it easily from whatever
1131you link the device-tree with), label or path instead of numeric value
1132in some cells to "point" to a node (replaced by a phandle at compile
1133time), export of reserve map address to the asm file, ability to
1134specify reserve map content at compile time, etc...
1135
1136We may provide a .h include file with common definitions of that
1137proves useful for some properties (like building PCI properties or
1138interrupt maps) though it may be better to add a notion of struct
1139definitions to the compiler...
1140
1141
1142V - Recommendations for a bootloader
1143====================================
1144
1145
1146Here are some various ideas/recommendations that have been proposed
1147while all this has been defined and implemented.
1148
1149 - The bootloader may want to be able to use the device-tree itself
1150 and may want to manipulate it (to add/edit some properties,
1151 like physical memory size or kernel arguments). At this point, 2
1152 choices can be made. Either the bootloader works directly on the
1153 flattened format, or the bootloader has its own internal tree
1154 representation with pointers (similar to the kernel one) and
1155 re-flattens the tree when booting the kernel. The former is a bit
1156 more difficult to edit/modify, the later requires probably a bit
1157 more code to handle the tree structure. Note that the structure
1158 format has been designed so it's relatively easy to "insert"
1159 properties or nodes or delete them by just memmoving things
1160 around. It contains no internal offsets or pointers for this
1161 purpose.
1162
Matt LaPlanted6bc8ac2006-10-03 22:54:15 +02001163 - An example of code for iterating nodes & retrieving properties
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001164 directly from the flattened tree format can be found in the kernel
1165 file arch/ppc64/kernel/prom.c, look at scan_flat_dt() function,
Matt LaPlanted6bc8ac2006-10-03 22:54:15 +02001166 its usage in early_init_devtree(), and the corresponding various
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001167 early_init_dt_scan_*() callbacks. That code can be re-used in a
1168 GPL bootloader, and as the author of that code, I would be happy
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +11001169 to discuss possible free licensing to any vendor who wishes to
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001170 integrate all or part of this code into a non-GPL bootloader.
1171
1172
1173
1174VI - System-on-a-chip devices and nodes
1175=======================================
1176
1177Many companies are now starting to develop system-on-a-chip
Domen Puncer5dd60162007-03-02 21:44:45 +11001178processors, where the processor core (CPU) and many peripheral devices
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001179exist on a single piece of silicon. For these SOCs, an SOC node
1180should be used that defines child nodes for the devices that make
1181up the SOC. While platforms are not required to use this model in
1182order to boot the kernel, it is highly encouraged that all SOC
1183implementations define as complete a flat-device-tree as possible to
1184describe the devices on the SOC. This will allow for the
1185genericization of much of the kernel code.
1186
1187
11881) Defining child nodes of an SOC
1189---------------------------------
1190
1191Each device that is part of an SOC may have its own node entry inside
1192the SOC node. For each device that is included in the SOC, the unit
1193address property represents the address offset for this device's
1194memory-mapped registers in the parent's address space. The parent's
1195address space is defined by the "ranges" property in the top-level soc
1196node. The "reg" property for each node that exists directly under the
1197SOC node should contain the address mapping from the child address space
1198to the parent SOC address space and the size of the device's
1199memory-mapped register file.
1200
1201For many devices that may exist inside an SOC, there are predefined
1202specifications for the format of the device tree node. All SOC child
1203nodes should follow these specifications, except where noted in this
1204document.
1205
1206See appendix A for an example partial SOC node definition for the
1207MPC8540.
1208
1209
Stuart Yoder27565902007-03-02 13:42:33 -060012102) Representing devices without a current OF specification
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001211----------------------------------------------------------
1212
1213Currently, there are many devices on SOCs that do not have a standard
1214representation pre-defined as part of the open firmware
1215specifications, mainly because the boards that contain these SOCs are
1216not currently booted using open firmware. This section contains
1217descriptions for the SOC devices for which new nodes have been
1218defined; this list will expand as more and more SOC-containing
1219platforms are moved over to use the flattened-device-tree model.
1220
1221 a) MDIO IO device
1222
1223 The MDIO is a bus to which the PHY devices are connected. For each
1224 device that exists on this bus, a child node should be created. See
1225 the definition of the PHY node below for an example of how to define
1226 a PHY.
1227
1228 Required properties:
1229 - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001230 - compatible : Should define the compatible device type for the
Kumar Galae77b28e2007-12-12 00:28:35 -06001231 mdio. Currently, this is most likely to be "fsl,gianfar-mdio"
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001232
1233 Example:
1234
1235 mdio@24520 {
1236 reg = <24520 20>;
Kumar Galae77b28e2007-12-12 00:28:35 -06001237 compatible = "fsl,gianfar-mdio";
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001238
1239 ethernet-phy@0 {
1240 ......
1241 };
1242 };
1243
1244
1245 b) Gianfar-compatible ethernet nodes
1246
1247 Required properties:
1248
1249 - device_type : Should be "network"
1250 - model : Model of the device. Can be "TSEC", "eTSEC", or "FEC"
1251 - compatible : Should be "gianfar"
1252 - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device
Jon Loeligerf5831652006-08-17 08:42:35 -05001253 - mac-address : List of bytes representing the ethernet address of
David Gibsonc125a182006-02-01 03:05:22 -08001254 this controller
1255 - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a
1256 field that represents an encoding of the sense and level
1257 information for the interrupt. This should be encoded based on
1258 the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt

1811 - id: The string name of the firmware. This is taken from the 'id'
1812 member of the qe_firmware structure of the uploaded firmware.
1813 Device drivers can search this string to determine if the
1814 firmware they want is already present.
1815 - extended-modes: The Extended Modes bitfield, taken from the
1816 firmware binary. It is a 64-bit number represented
1817 as an array of two 32-bit numbers.

1838 device width times the number of interleaved chips.
1839 - device-width : (optional) Width of a single flash chip. If
1840 omitted, assumed to be equal to 'bank-width'.
1841 - #address-cells, #size-cells : Must be present if the flash has
1842 sub-nodes representing partitions (see below). In this case
1843 both #address-cells and #size-cells must be equal to 1.

David Gibson20991722007-09-07 13:23:53 +10001851 In addition to the information on the flash bank itself, the
1852 device tree may optionally contain additional information
1853 describing partitions of the flash address space. This can be
1854 used on platforms which have strong conventions about which
1855 portions of the flash are used for what purposes, but which don't
1856 use an on-flash partition table such as RedBoot.
Vitaly Wool28f9ec32006-11-20 16:32:39 +03001857

1864 - label : (optional) The label / name for this flash partition.
1865 If omitted, the label is taken from the node name (excluding
1866 the unit address).
1867 - read-only : (optional) This parameter, if present, is a hint to
1868 Linux that this flash partition should only be mounted
1869 read-only. This is usually used for flash partitions
1870 containing early-boot firmware images or data which should not
1871 be clobbered.
1872
1873 Example:
1874
1875 flash@ff000000 {

Scott Wood15f8c602007-09-28 14:06:16 -05002084 viii) Multi-User RAM (MURAM)
2085
2086 The multi-user/dual-ported RAM is expressed as a bus under the CPM node.
2087
2088 Ranges must be set up subject to the following restrictions:
2089
2090 - Children's reg nodes must be offsets from the start of all muram, even
2091 if the user-data area does not begin at zero.
2092 - If multiple range entries are used, the difference between the parent
2093 address and the child address must be the same in all, so that a single
2094 mapping can cover them all while maintaining the ability to determine
2095 CPM-side offsets with pointer subtraction. It is recommended that
2096 multiple range entries not be used.
2097 - A child address of zero must be translatable, even if no reg resources
2098 contain it.
2099
2100 A child "data" node must exist, compatible with "fsl,cpm-muram-data", to
2101 indicate the portion of muram that is usable by the OS for arbitrary
2102 purposes. The data node may have an arbitrary number of reg resources,
2103 all of which contribute to the allocatable muram pool.
2104

Linus Torvaldse8690862007-10-11 21:55:47 -07002155 n) 4xx/Axon EMAC ethernet nodes
David Gibson1d3bb992007-08-23 13:56:01 +10002156
2157 The EMAC ethernet controller in IBM and AMCC 4xx chips, and also
2158 the Axon bridge. To operate this needs to interact with a ths
2159 special McMAL DMA controller, and sometimes an RGMII or ZMII
2160 interface. In addition to the nodes and properties described
2161 below, the node for the OPB bus on which the EMAC sits must have a
2162 correct clock-frequency property.
2163
2164 i) The EMAC node itself
2165
2166 Required properties:
2167 - device_type : "network"
2168
2169 - compatible : compatible list, contains 2 entries, first is
2170 "ibm,emac-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (440gx,
2171 405gp, Axon) and second is either "ibm,emac" or
2172 "ibm,emac4". For Axon, thus, we have: "ibm,emac-axon",
2173 "ibm,emac4"
2174 - interrupts : <interrupt mapping for EMAC IRQ and WOL IRQ>
2175 - interrupt-parent : optional, if needed for interrupt mapping
2176 - reg : <registers mapping>
2177 - local-mac-address : 6 bytes, MAC address
2178 - mal-device : phandle of the associated McMAL node
2179 - mal-tx-channel : 1 cell, index of the tx channel on McMAL associated
2180 with this EMAC
2181 - mal-rx-channel : 1 cell, index of the rx channel on McMAL associated
2182 with this EMAC
2183 - cell-index : 1 cell, hardware index of the EMAC cell on a given
2184 ASIC (typically 0x0 and 0x1 for EMAC0 and EMAC1 on
2185 each Axon chip)
2186 - max-frame-size : 1 cell, maximum frame size supported in bytes
2187 - rx-fifo-size : 1 cell, Rx fifo size in bytes for 10 and 100 Mb/sec
2188 operations.
2189 For Axon, 2048
2190 - tx-fifo-size : 1 cell, Tx fifo size in bytes for 10 and 100 Mb/sec
2191 operations.
2192 For Axon, 2048.
2193 - fifo-entry-size : 1 cell, size of a fifo entry (used to calculate
2194 thresholds).
2195 For Axon, 0x00000010
2196 - mal-burst-size : 1 cell, MAL burst size (used to calculate thresholds)
2197 in bytes.
2198 For Axon, 0x00000100 (I think ...)
2199 - phy-mode : string, mode of operations of the PHY interface.
2200 Supported values are: "mii", "rmii", "smii", "rgmii",
2201 "tbi", "gmii", rtbi", "sgmii".
2202 For Axon on CAB, it is "rgmii"
2203 - mdio-device : 1 cell, required iff using shared MDIO registers
2204 (440EP). phandle of the EMAC to use to drive the
2205 MDIO lines for the PHY used by this EMAC.
2206 - zmii-device : 1 cell, required iff connected to a ZMII. phandle of
2207 the ZMII device node
2208 - zmii-channel : 1 cell, required iff connected to a ZMII. Which ZMII
2209 channel or 0xffffffff if ZMII is only used for MDIO.
2210 - rgmii-device : 1 cell, required iff connected to an RGMII. phandle
2211 of the RGMII device node.
2212 For Axon: phandle of plb5/plb4/opb/rgmii
2213 - rgmii-channel : 1 cell, required iff connected to an RGMII. Which
2214 RGMII channel is used by this EMAC.
2215 Fox Axon: present, whatever value is appropriate for each
2216 EMAC, that is the content of the current (bogus) "phy-port"
2217 property.
2218
2219 Recommended properties:
2220 - linux,network-index : This is the intended "index" of this
2221 network device. This is used by the bootwrapper to interpret
2222 MAC addresses passed by the firmware when no information other
2223 than indices is available to associate an address with a device.
2224
2225 Optional properties:
2226 - phy-address : 1 cell, optional, MDIO address of the PHY. If absent,
2227 a search is performed.
2228 - phy-map : 1 cell, optional, bitmap of addresses to probe the PHY
2229 for, used if phy-address is absent. bit 0x00000001 is
2230 MDIO address 0.
2231 For Axon it can be absent, thouugh my current driver
2232 doesn't handle phy-address yet so for now, keep
2233 0x00ffffff in it.
2234 - rx-fifo-size-gige : 1 cell, Rx fifo size in bytes for 1000 Mb/sec
2235 operations (if absent the value is the same as

2237 - tx-fifo-size-gige : 1 cell, Tx fifo size in bytes for 1000 Mb/sec
2238 operations (if absent the value is the same as
2239 tx-fifo-size). For Axon, either absent or 2048.
2240 - tah-device : 1 cell, optional. If connected to a TAH engine for
2241 offload, phandle of the TAH device node.
2242 - tah-channel : 1 cell, optional. If appropriate, channel used on the
2243 TAH engine.
2244
2245 Example:
2246
2247 EMAC0: ethernet@40000800 {
2248 linux,network-index = <0>;
2249 device_type = "network";
2250 compatible = "ibm,emac-440gp", "ibm,emac";
2251 interrupt-parent = <&UIC1>;
2252 interrupts = <1c 4 1d 4>;
2253 reg = <40000800 70>;
2254 local-mac-address = [00 04 AC E3 1B 1E];
2255 mal-device = <&MAL0>;
2256 mal-tx-channel = <0 1>;
2257 mal-rx-channel = <0>;
2258 cell-index = <0>;
2259 max-frame-size = <5dc>;
2260 rx-fifo-size = <1000>;
2261 tx-fifo-size = <800>;
2262 phy-mode = "rmii";
2263 phy-map = <00000001>;
2264 zmii-device = <&ZMII0>;
2265 zmii-channel = <0>;
2266 };
2267
2268 ii) McMAL node
2269
2270 Required properties:
2271 - device_type : "dma-controller"
2272 - compatible : compatible list, containing 2 entries, first is
2273 "ibm,mcmal-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (like
2274 emac) and the second is either "ibm,mcmal" or
2275 "ibm,mcmal2".
2276 For Axon, "ibm,mcmal-axon","ibm,mcmal2"
2277 - interrupts : <interrupt mapping for the MAL interrupts sources:
2278 5 sources: tx_eob, rx_eob, serr, txde, rxde>.
2279 For Axon: This is _different_ from the current
2280 firmware. We use the "delayed" interrupts for txeob
2281 and rxeob. Thus we end up with mapping those 5 MPIC
2282 interrupts, all level positive sensitive: 10, 11, 32,
2283 33, 34 (in decimal)
2284 - dcr-reg : < DCR registers range >
2285 - dcr-parent : if needed for dcr-reg
2286 - num-tx-chans : 1 cell, number of Tx channels
2287 - num-rx-chans : 1 cell, number of Rx channels

2292 - compatible : compatible list, containing 2 entries, first is
2293 "ibm,zmii-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (like

2298 iv) RGMII node
2299
2300 Required properties:
2301 - compatible : compatible list, containing 2 entries, first is
2302 "ibm,rgmii-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (like
2303 EMAC) and the second is "ibm,rgmii".
2304 For Axon, "ibm,rgmii-axon","ibm,rgmii"
2305 - reg : <registers mapping>
2306 - revision : as provided by the RGMII new version register if
2307 available.
2308 For Axon: 0x0000012a
2309
Timur Tabibc556ba2008-01-08 10:30:58 -06002310 o) Xilinx IP cores
Grant Likely7ae0fa492007-10-23 14:27:41 +10002311
2312 The Xilinx EDK toolchain ships with a set of IP cores (devices) for use
2313 in Xilinx Spartan and Virtex FPGAs. The devices cover the whole range
2314 of standard device types (network, serial, etc.) and miscellanious
2315 devices (gpio, LCD, spi, etc). Also, since these devices are
2316 implemented within the fpga fabric every instance of the device can be
2317 synthesised with different options that change the behaviour.
2318
2319 Each IP-core has a set of parameters which the FPGA designer can use to
2320 control how the core is synthesized. Historically, the EDK tool would
2321 extract the device parameters relevant to device drivers and copy them
2322 into an 'xparameters.h' in the form of #define symbols. This tells the
2323 device drivers how the IP cores are configured, but it requres the kernel
2324 to be recompiled every time the FPGA bitstream is resynthesized.
2325
2326 The new approach is to export the parameters into the device tree and
2327 generate a new device tree each time the FPGA bitstream changes. The
2328 parameters which used to be exported as #defines will now become
2329 properties of the device node. In general, device nodes for IP-cores
2330 will take the following form:
2331
Stephen Neuendorfferab99eee2008-01-09 06:35:07 +11002332 (name): (generic-name)@(base-address) {
Grant Likely7ae0fa492007-10-23 14:27:41 +10002333 compatible = "xlnx,(ip-core-name)-(HW_VER)"
2334 [, (list of compatible devices), ...];
2335 reg = <(baseaddr) (size)>;
2336 interrupt-parent = <&interrupt-controller-phandle>;
2337 interrupts = < ... >;
2338 xlnx,(parameter1) = "(string-value)";
2339 xlnx,(parameter2) = <(int-value)>;
2340 };
2341
Stephen Neuendorfferab99eee2008-01-09 06:35:07 +11002342 (generic-name): an open firmware-style name that describes the
2343 generic class of device. Preferably, this is one word, such
2344 as 'serial' or 'ethernet'.
Grant Likely7ae0fa492007-10-23 14:27:41 +10002345 (ip-core-name): the name of the ip block (given after the BEGIN
2346 directive in system.mhs). Should be in lowercase
2347 and all underscores '_' converted to dashes '-'.
2348 (name): is derived from the "PARAMETER INSTANCE" value.
2349 (parameter#): C_* parameters from system.mhs. The C_ prefix is
2350 dropped from the parameter name, the name is converted
2351 to lowercase and all underscore '_' characters are
2352 converted to dashes '-'.
Stephen Neuendorfferab99eee2008-01-09 06:35:07 +11002353 (baseaddr): the baseaddr parameter value (often named C_BASEADDR).
Grant Likely7ae0fa492007-10-23 14:27:41 +10002354 (HW_VER): from the HW_VER parameter.
Stephen Neuendorfferab99eee2008-01-09 06:35:07 +11002355 (size): the address range size (often C_HIGHADDR - C_BASEADDR + 1).
Grant Likely7ae0fa492007-10-23 14:27:41 +10002356
2357 Typically, the compatible list will include the exact IP core version
2358 followed by an older IP core version which implements the same
2359 interface or any other device with the same interface.
2360
2361 'reg', 'interrupt-parent' and 'interrupts' are all optional properties.
2362
2363 For example, the following block from system.mhs:
2364
2365 BEGIN opb_uartlite
2366 PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_uartlite_0
2367 PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.b
2368 PARAMETER C_BAUDRATE = 115200
2369 PARAMETER C_DATA_BITS = 8
2370 PARAMETER C_ODD_PARITY = 0
2371 PARAMETER C_USE_PARITY = 0
2372 PARAMETER C_CLK_FREQ = 50000000
2373 PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xEC100000
2374 PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xEC10FFFF
2375 BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_7
2376 PORT OPB_Clk = CLK_50MHz
2377 PORT Interrupt = opb_uartlite_0_Interrupt
2378 PORT RX = opb_uartlite_0_RX
2379 PORT TX = opb_uartlite_0_TX
2380 PORT OPB_Rst = sys_bus_reset_0
2381 END
2382
2383 becomes the following device tree node:
2384
Stephen Neuendorfferab99eee2008-01-09 06:35:07 +11002385 opb_uartlite_0: serial@ec100000 {
Grant Likely7ae0fa492007-10-23 14:27:41 +10002386 device_type = "serial";
2387 compatible = "xlnx,opb-uartlite-1.00.b";
2388 reg = <ec100000 10000>;
Stephen Neuendorfferab99eee2008-01-09 06:35:07 +11002389 interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>;
Grant Likely7ae0fa492007-10-23 14:27:41 +10002390 interrupts = <1 0>; // got this from the opb_intc parameters
2391 current-speed = <d#115200>; // standard serial device prop
2392 clock-frequency = <d#50000000>; // standard serial device prop
2393 xlnx,data-bits = <8>;
2394 xlnx,odd-parity = <0>;
2395 xlnx,use-parity = <0>;
2396 };
2397
Stephen Neuendorfferab99eee2008-01-09 06:35:07 +11002398 Some IP cores actually implement 2 or more logical devices. In
2399 this case, the device should still describe the whole IP core with
2400 a single node and add a child node for each logical device. The
2401 ranges property can be used to translate from parent IP-core to the
2402 registers of each device. In addition, the parent node should be
2403 compatible with the bus type 'xlnx,compound', and should contain
2404 #address-cells and #size-cells, as with any other bus. (Note: this
2405 makes the assumption that both logical devices have the same bus
2406 binding. If this is not true, then separate nodes should be used
2407 for each logical device). The 'cell-index' property can be used to
2408 enumerate logical devices within an IP core. For example, the
2409 following is the system.mhs entry for the dual ps2 controller found
2410 on the ml403 reference design.
Grant Likely7ae0fa492007-10-23 14:27:41 +10002411
2412 BEGIN opb_ps2_dual_ref
2413 PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_ps2_dual_ref_0
2414 PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.a
2415 PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xA9000000
2416 PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xA9001FFF
2417 BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_v20_0
2418 PORT Sys_Intr1 = ps2_1_intr
2419 PORT Sys_Intr2 = ps2_2_intr
2420 PORT Clkin1 = ps2_clk_rx_1
2421 PORT Clkin2 = ps2_clk_rx_2
2422 PORT Clkpd1 = ps2_clk_tx_1
2423 PORT Clkpd2 = ps2_clk_tx_2
2424 PORT Rx1 = ps2_d_rx_1
2425 PORT Rx2 = ps2_d_rx_2
2426 PORT Txpd1 = ps2_d_tx_1
2427 PORT Txpd2 = ps2_d_tx_2
2428 END
2429
2430 It would result in the following device tree nodes:
2431
Stephen Neuendorfferab99eee2008-01-09 06:35:07 +11002432 opb_ps2_dual_ref_0: opb-ps2-dual-ref@a9000000 {

2437 // If this device had extra parameters, then they would
2438 // go here.
2439 ps2@0 {
2440 compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a";
2441 reg = <0 40>;
Stephen Neuendorfferab99eee2008-01-09 06:35:07 +11002442 interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>;

2451 cell-index = <0>;
2452 };
2453 };
2454
2455 Also, the system.mhs file defines bus attachments from the processor
2456 to the devices. The device tree structure should reflect the bus
2457 attachments. Again an example; this system.mhs fragment:
2458
2459 BEGIN ppc405_virtex4

Stuart Yoder27565902007-03-02 13:42:33 -06002780VII - Specifying interrupt information for devices
2781===================================================
2782
2783The device tree represents the busses and devices of a hardware
2784system in a form similar to the physical bus topology of the
2785hardware.
2786
2787In addition, a logical 'interrupt tree' exists which represents the
2788hierarchy and routing of interrupts in the hardware.
2789
2790The interrupt tree model is fully described in the
2791document "Open Firmware Recommended Practice: Interrupt
2792Mapping Version 0.9". The document is available at:
2793<http://playground.sun.com/1275/practice>.
2794
27951) interrupts property
2796----------------------
2797
2798Devices that generate interrupts to a single interrupt controller
2799should use the conventional OF representation described in the
2800OF interrupt mapping documentation.
2801
2802Each device which generates interrupts must have an 'interrupt'
2803property. The interrupt property value is an arbitrary number of
2804of 'interrupt specifier' values which describe the interrupt or
2805interrupts for the device.
2806
2807The encoding of an interrupt specifier is determined by the
2808interrupt domain in which the device is located in the
2809interrupt tree. The root of an interrupt domain specifies in
2810its #interrupt-cells property the number of 32-bit cells
2811required to encode an interrupt specifier. See the OF interrupt
2812mapping documentation for a detailed description of domains.
2813
2814For example, the binding for the OpenPIC interrupt controller
2815specifies an #interrupt-cells value of 2 to encode the interrupt
2816number and level/sense information. All interrupt children in an
2817OpenPIC interrupt domain use 2 cells per interrupt in their interrupts
2818property.
2819
2820The PCI bus binding specifies a #interrupt-cell value of 1 to encode
2821which interrupt pin (INTA,INTB,INTC,INTD) is used.
2822
28232) interrupt-parent property
2824----------------------------
2825
2826The interrupt-parent property is specified to define an explicit
2827link between a device node and its interrupt parent in
2828the interrupt tree. The value of interrupt-parent is the
2829phandle of the parent node.
2830
2831If the interrupt-parent property is not defined for a node, it's
2832interrupt parent is assumed to be an ancestor in the node's
2833_device tree_ hierarchy.
2834
28353) OpenPIC Interrupt Controllers
2836--------------------------------
2837
2838OpenPIC interrupt controllers require 2 cells to encode
2839interrupt information. The first cell defines the interrupt
2840number. The second cell defines the sense and level
2841information.
2842
2843Sense and level information should be encoded as follows:
2844
2845 0 = low to high edge sensitive type enabled
2846 1 = active low level sensitive type enabled
2847 2 = active high level sensitive type enabled
2848 3 = high to low edge sensitive type enabled
2849
28504) ISA Interrupt Controllers
2851----------------------------
2852
2853ISA PIC interrupt controllers require 2 cells to encode
2854interrupt information. The first cell defines the interrupt
2855number. The second cell defines the sense and level
2856information.
2857
2858ISA PIC interrupt controllers should adhere to the ISA PIC
2859encodings listed below:
2860
2861 0 = active low level sensitive type enabled
2862 1 = active high level sensitive type enabled
2863 2 = high to low edge sensitive type enabled
2864 3 = low to high edge sensitive type enabled
