Thomas Abraham36ba5d52013-03-09 16:01:52 +09001Samsung's Multi Core Timer (MCT)
2
3The Samsung's Multi Core Timer (MCT) module includes two main blocks, the
4global timer and CPU local timers. The global timer is a 64-bit free running
5up-counter and can generate 4 interrupts when the counter reaches one of the
6four preset counter values. The CPU local timers are 32-bit free running
7down-counters and generate an interrupt when the counter expires. There is
8one CPU local timer instantiated in MCT for every CPU in the system.

10Required properties:
11
12- compatible: should be "samsung,exynos4210-mct".
13 (a) "samsung,exynos4210-mct", for mct compatible with Exynos4210 mct.
14 (b) "samsung,exynos4412-mct", for mct compatible with Exynos4412 mct.
15
16- reg: base address of the mct controller and length of the address space
17 it occupies.
18
19- interrupts: the list of interrupts generated by the controller. The following
20 should be the order of the interrupts specified. The local timer interrupts
21 should be specified after the four global timer interrupts have been
22 specified.
23
24 0: Global Timer Interrupt 0
25 1: Global Timer Interrupt 1
26 2: Global Timer Interrupt 2
27 3: Global Timer Interrupt 3
28 4: Local Timer Interrupt 0
29 5: Local Timer Interrupt 1
30 6: ..
31 7: ..
32 i: Local Timer Interrupt n
33
34Example 1: In this example, the system uses only the first global timer
35 interrupt generated by MCT and the remaining three global timer
36 interrupts are unused. Two local timer interrupts have been
37 specified.

39 mct@10050000 {
40 compatible = "samsung,exynos4210-mct";
41 reg = <0x10050000 0x800>;
42 interrupts = <0 57 0>, <0 0 0>, <0 0 0>, <0 0 0>,
43 <0 42 0>, <0 48 0>;
44 };

46Example 2: In this example, the MCT global and local timer interrupts are
Anatol Pomozovf884ab12013-05-08 16:56:16 -070047 connected to two separate interrupt controllers. Hence, an
Thomas Abraham36ba5d52013-03-09 16:01:52 +090048 interrupt-map is created to map the interrupts to the respective
49 interrupt controllers.
