Since tokens are 98 already aligned, that means no specific 99 required alignment between property size 100 and property data. The old style variable 101 alignment would make it impossible to do 102 "simple" insertion of properties using 103 memmove (thanks Milton for 104 noticing). Updated kernel patch as well 105 - Correct a few more alignment constraints 106 - Add a chapter about the device-tree 107 compiler and the textural representation of 108 the tree that can be "compiled" by dtc. 109 110 November 21, 2005: Rev 0.5 111 - Additions/generalizations for 32-bit 112 - Changed to reflect the new arch/powerpc 113 structure 114 - Added chapter VI 115 116 117 ToDo: 118 - Add some definitions of interrupt tree (simple/complex) 119 - Add some definitions for PCI host bridges 120 - Add some common address format examples 121 - Add definitions for standard properties and "compatible" 122 names for cells that are not already defined by the existing 123 OF spec. 124 - Compare FSL SOC use of PCI to standard and make sure no new 125 node definition required. 126 - Add more information about node definitions for SOC devices 127 that currently have no standard, like the FSL CPM. 128 129 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 178 bindings to powerpc. Only the 32-bit client interface 179 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. 210 211 r5 : NULL (as to differentiate with method a) 212 213 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 258 platforms feature the same core architecture. A single kernel build 259 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 279NOTE: If Ben doesn't merge the setup files, may need to change this to 280point 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 311 roughly described in include/asm-powerpc/prom.h by the structure 312 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 320 */ 321 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 */ 329 330 /* version 17 fields below */ 331 u32 size_dt_struct; /* size of the DT structure block */ 332}; 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 340 */ 341#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 377 of the reserved memory map. This map is a list of pairs of 64- 378 bit integers. Each pair is a physical address and a size. The 379 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 391 should be 64-bit aligned. 392 393 - 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 401 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. 408 409 - 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 416 version 1 to 3, or 16 if you generate a tree of version 16 or 17 417 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) 428 429 - 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). 440 441 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): 444 445 446 ------------------------------ 447 r3 -> | struct boot_param_header | 448 ------------------------------ 449 | (alignment gap) (*) | 450 ------------------------------ 451 | memory reserve map | 452 ------------------------------ 453 | (alignment gap) | 454 ------------------------------ 455 | | 456 | device-tree structure | 457 | | 458 ------------------------------ 459 | (alignment gap) | 460 ------------------------------ 461 | | 462 | device-tree strings | 463 | | 464 -----> ------------------------------ 465 | 466 | 467 --- (r3 + totalsize) 468 469 (*) The alignment gaps are not necessarily present; their presence 470 and size are dependent on the various alignment requirements of 471 the individual data blocks. 472 473 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 497format definition (as it is in Open Firmware). Version 16 makes it 498optional as it can generate it from the unit name defined below. 499 500There is also a "unit name" that is used to differentiate nodes with 501the same name at the same level, it is usually made of the node 502names, the "@" sign, and a "unit address", which definition is 503specific 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 541This "linux, phandle" property is a 32-bit value that uniquely 542identifies 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> 551represents a 32-bit hexadecimal value. The various nodes in this 552example 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> 577 | |- 64-bit 578 | |- 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" 589 |- 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 598The /cpus/PowerPC,970@0/64-bit property is an example of a 599property 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) 623 * 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 626 * 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 631So the node content can be summarized as a start token, a full path, 632a list of properties, a list of child nodes, and an end token. Every 633child node is a full node structure itself as defined above. 634 635NOTE: 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 6434) Device tree "strings" block 644 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 662set the platform number. However, when using the flattened device-tree 663entry 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 671documentations. If you choose to describe a bus with the device-tree 672and 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 678properties. 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. 682 683Those 2 properties define 'cells' for representing an address and a 684size. A "cell" is a 32-bit number. For example, if both contain 2 685like the example tree given above, then an address and a size are both 686composed of 2 cells, and each is a 64-bit number (cells are 687concatenated 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 718The "reg" property only defines addresses and sizes (if #size-cells is 719non-0) within a given bus. In order to translate addresses upward 720(that is into parent bus addresses, and possibly into CPU physical 721addresses), all busses must contain a "ranges" property. If the 722"ranges" property is missing at a given level, it's assumed that 723translation 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: 726 727 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 737For a new 64-bit powerpc board, I recommend either the 2/2 format or 738Apple's 2/1 format which is slightly more compact since sizes usually 739fit in a single 32-bit word. New 32-bit powerpc boards should use a 7401/1 format, unless the processor supports physical addresses greater 741than 32-bits, in which case a 2/1 format is recommended. 742 743Alternatively, 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. 747 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 782While open firmware provides more flexible usage of 8859-1, this 783specification 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 812 - 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. 817 818 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 825 value but it is generally useful. 826 827 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 829 thing. It is recommended that if you add any "custom" property whose 830 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" 857 - reg : This is the physical CPU number, it's a single 32-bit cell 858 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) 864 - 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 866 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 869 870(*) 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. 875 876 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 884 in Hz. A new property will be defined for 64-bit values, but if 885 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. 889 - 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 893 894 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, 918 with both of these properties being 2 like in the example given 919 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 935 the default input/output devices. 936 937 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. 941 942 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 950 it up as its own default console. If you look at the function 951 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. 955 956 Note that u-boot creates and fills in the chosen node for platforms 957 that use it. 958 959 (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) 962 963 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. 979 - 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. 982 983 984 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 1010 for more information on how to specify devices that are part of a SOC. 1011 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>; 1021 bus-frequency = <0>; 1022 } 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 1064 assembly file exports some symbols that can be used. 1065 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 1073The "output_version" defines what version of the "blob" format will be 1074generated. 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 1078uniqueness of linux, phandle properties, validity of strings, etc... 1079 1080The format of the .dts "source" file is "C" like, supports C and C++ 1081style comments. 1082 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 1095 * numerical 32-bit value (hexadecimal) 1096 */ 1097 1098 property3 = <12345678 12345678 deadbeef>; 1099 /* define a property containing 3 1100 * numerical 32-bit values (cells) in 1101 * 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 1163 - An example of code for iterating nodes & retrieving properties 1164 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, 1166 its usage in early_init_devtree(), and the corresponding various 1167 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 1169 to discuss possible free licensing to any vendor who wishes to 1170 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 1178processors, where the processor core (CPU) and many peripheral devices 1179exist 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 12102) Representing devices without a current OF specification 1211---------------------------------------------------------- 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 1230 - compatible : Should define the compatible device type for the 1231 mdio. Currently, this is most likely to be "fsl,gianfar-mdio" 1232 1233 Example: 1234 1235 mdio@24520 { 1236 reg = <24520 20>; 1237 compatible = "fsl,gianfar-mdio"; 1238 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.

This property is only really needed if the connection 1278 is of type "rgmii-id", as all other connection types are detected by 1279 hardware. 1280 1281 1282 Example: 1283 1284 ethernet@24000 { 1285 #size-cells = <0>; 1286 device_type = "network"; 1287 model = "TSEC"; 1288 compatible = "gianfar"; 1289 reg = <24000 1000>; 1290 mac-address = [ 00 E0 0C 00 73 00 ]; 1291 interrupts = <d 3 e 3 12 3>; 1292 interrupt-parent = <40000>; 1293 phy-handle = <2452000> 1294 }; 1295 1296 1297 1298 c) PHY nodes 1299 1300 Required properties: 1301 1302 - device_type : Should be "ethernet-phy" 1303 - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a 1304 field that represents an encoding of the sense and level 1305 information for the interrupt.

The SOC device nodes for 1330 these types of controllers should be specified just like a standard 1331 OpenPIC controller. Sense and level information should be encoded 1332 as specified in section 2) of this chapter for each device that 1333 specifies an interrupt. 1334 1335 Example : 1336 1337 pic@40000 { 1338 linux,phandle = <40000>; 1339 clock-frequency = <0>; 1340 interrupt-controller; 1341 #address-cells = <0>; 1342 reg = <40000 40000>; 1343 built-in; 1344 compatible = "chrp,open-pic"; 1345 device_type = "open-pic"; 1346 big-endian; 1347 }; 1348 1349 1350 e) I2C 1351 1352 Required properties : 1353 1354 - device_type : Should be "i2c" 1355 - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device 1356 1357 Recommended properties : 1358 1359 - compatible : Should be "fsl-i2c" for parts compatible with 1360 Freescale I2C specifications. 1361 - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a 1362 field that represents an encoding of the sense and level 1363 information for the interrupt.

This node provides information on the uploaded firmware that 1808 device drivers may need. 1809 1810 Required properties: 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. 1818 - virtual-traps: The virtual traps, taken from the firmware binary. 1819 It is an array of 8 32-bit numbers. 1820 1821 Example: 1822 1823 firmware { 1824 id = "Soft-UART"; 1825 extended-modes = <0 0>; 1826 virtual-traps = <0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0>; 1827 } 1828 1829 j) CFI or JEDEC memory-mapped NOR flash 1830 1831 Flash chips (Memory Technology Devices) are often used for solid state 1832 file systems on embedded devices. 1833 1834 - compatible : should contain the specific model of flash chip(s) 1835 used, if known, followed by either "cfi-flash" or "jedec-flash" 1836 - reg : Address range of the flash chip 1837 - bank-width : Width (in bytes) of the flash bank.

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. 1857 1858 Each partition is represented as a sub-node of the flash device. 1859 Each node's name represents the name of the corresponding 1860 partition of the flash device. 1861 1862 Flash partitions 1863 - reg : The partition's offset and size within the flash bank. 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 { 1876 compatible = "amd,am29lv128ml", "cfi-flash"; 1877 reg = <ff000000 01000000>; 1878 bank-width = <4>; 1879 device-width = <1>; 1880 #address-cells = <1>; 1881 #size-cells = <1>; 1882 fs@0 { 1883 label = "fs"; 1884 reg = <0 f80000>; 1885 }; 1886 firmware@f80000 { 1887 label ="firmware"; 1888 reg = <f80000 80000>; 1889 read-only; 1890 }; 1891 }; 1892 1893 k) Global Utilities Block 1894 1895 The global utilities block controls power management, I/O device 1896 enabling, power-on-reset configuration monitoring, general-purpose 1897 I/O signal configuration, alternate function selection for multiplexed 1898 signals, and clock control. 1899 1900 Required properties: 1901 1902 - compatible : Should define the compatible device type for 1903 global-utilities. 1904 - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device. 1905 1906 Recommended properties: 1907 1908 - fsl,has-rstcr : Indicates that the global utilities register set 1909 contains a functioning "reset control register" (i.e. the board 1910 is wired to reset upon setting the HRESET_REQ bit in this register). 1911 1912 Example: 1913 1914 global-utilities@e0000 { /* global utilities block */ 1915 compatible = "fsl,mpc8548-guts"; 1916 reg = <e0000 1000>; 1917 fsl,has-rstcr; 1918 }; 1919 1920 l) Freescale Communications Processor Module 1921 1922 NOTE: This is an interim binding, and will likely change slightly, 1923 as more devices are supported.

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 2288 2289 iii) ZMII node 2290 2291 Required properties: 2292 - compatible : compatible list, containing 2 entries, first is 2293 "ibm,zmii-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (like 2294 EMAC) and the second is "ibm,zmii". 2295 For Axon, there is no ZMII node. 2296 - reg : <registers mapping> 2297 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 2310 o) Xilinx IP cores 2311 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 2332 (name): (generic-name)@(base-address) { 2333 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 2342 (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'. 2345 (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 '-'. 2353 (baseaddr): the baseaddr parameter value (often named C_BASEADDR). 2354 (HW_VER): from the HW_VER parameter. 2355 (size): the address range size (often C_HIGHADDR - C_BASEADDR + 1). 2356 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 2385 opb_uartlite_0: serial@ec100000 { 2386 device_type = "serial"; 2387 compatible = "xlnx,opb-uartlite-1.00.b"; 2388 reg = <ec100000 10000>; 2389 interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>; 2390 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 2398 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. 2411 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 2432 opb_ps2_dual_ref_0: opb-ps2-dual-ref@a9000000 { 2433 #address-cells = <1>; 2434 #size-cells = <1>; 2435 compatible = "xlnx,compound"; 2436 ranges = <0 a9000000 2000>; 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>; 2442 interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>; 2443 interrupts = <3 0>; 2444 cell-index = <0>; 2445 }; 2446 ps2@1000 { 2447 compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a"; 2448 reg = <1000 40>; 2449 interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>; 2450 interrupts = <3 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 2460 PARAMETER INSTANCE = ppc405_0 2461 PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.01.a 2462 BUS_INTERFACE DPLB = plb_v34_0 2463 BUS_INTERFACE IPLB = plb_v34_0 2464 END 2465 2466 BEGIN opb_intc 2467 PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_intc_0 2468 PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.c 2469 PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xD1000FC0 2470 PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xD1000FDF 2471 BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_v20_0 2472 END 2473 2474 BEGIN opb_uart16550 2475 PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_uart16550_0 2476 PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.d 2477 PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xa0000000 2478 PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xa0001FFF 2479 BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_v20_0 2480 END 2481 2482 BEGIN plb_v34 2483 PARAMETER INSTANCE = plb_v34_0 2484 PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.02.a 2485 END 2486 2487 BEGIN plb_bram_if_cntlr 2488 PARAMETER INSTANCE = plb_bram_if_cntlr_0 2489 PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.b 2490 PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xFFFF0000 2491 PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xFFFFFFFF 2492 BUS_INTERFACE SPLB = plb_v34_0 2493 END 2494 2495 BEGIN plb2opb_bridge 2496 PARAMETER INSTANCE = plb2opb_bridge_0 2497 PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.01.a 2498 PARAMETER C_RNG0_BASEADDR = 0x20000000 2499 PARAMETER C_RNG0_HIGHADDR = 0x3FFFFFFF 2500 PARAMETER C_RNG1_BASEADDR = 0x60000000 2501 PARAMETER C_RNG1_HIGHADDR = 0x7FFFFFFF 2502 PARAMETER C_RNG2_BASEADDR = 0x80000000 2503 PARAMETER C_RNG2_HIGHADDR = 0xBFFFFFFF 2504 PARAMETER C_RNG3_BASEADDR = 0xC0000000 2505 PARAMETER C_RNG3_HIGHADDR = 0xDFFFFFFF 2506 BUS_INTERFACE SPLB = plb_v34_0 2507 BUS_INTERFACE MOPB = opb_v20_0 2508 END 2509 2510 Gives this device tree (some properties removed for clarity): 2511 2512 plb@0 { 2513 #address-cells = <1>; 2514 #size-cells = <1>; 2515 compatible = "xlnx,plb-v34-1.02.a"; 2516 device_type = "ibm,plb"; 2517 ranges; // 1:1 translation 2518 2519 plb_bram_if_cntrl_0: bram@ffff0000 { 2520 reg = <ffff0000 10000>; 2521 } 2522 2523 opb@20000000 { 2524 #address-cells = <1>; 2525 #size-cells = <1>; 2526 ranges = <20000000 20000000 20000000 2527 60000000 60000000 20000000 2528 80000000 80000000 40000000 2529 c0000000 c0000000 20000000>; 2530 2531 opb_uart16550_0: serial@a0000000 { 2532 reg = <a00000000 2000>; 2533 }; 2534 2535 opb_intc_0: interrupt-controller@d1000fc0 { 2536 reg = <d1000fc0 20>; 2537 }; 2538 }; 2539 }; 2540 2541 That covers the general approach to binding xilinx IP cores into the 2542 device tree. The following are bindings for specific devices: 2543 2544 i) Xilinx ML300 Framebuffer 2545 2546 Simple framebuffer device from the ML300 reference design (also on the 2547 ML403 reference design as well as others). 2548 2549 Optional properties: 2550 - resolution = <xres yres> : pixel resolution of framebuffer.

In addition to general xilinx properties 2569 listed above, nodes for these devices should include a phy-handle 2570 property, and may include other common network device properties 2571 like local-mac-address. 2572 2573 iv) Xilinx Uartlite 2574 2575 Xilinx uartlite devices are simple fixed speed serial ports. 2576 2577 Requred properties: 2578 - current-speed : Baud rate of uartlite 2579 2580 p) Freescale Synchronous Serial Interface 2581 2582 The SSI is a serial device that communicates with audio codecs.

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 2865 2866 2867Appendix A - Sample SOC node for MPC8540 2868======================================== 2869 2870Note that the #address-cells and #size-cells for the SoC node 2871in this example have been explicitly listed; these are likely 2872not necessary as they are usually the same as the root node. 2873 2874 soc8540@e0000000 { 2875 #address-cells = <1>; 2876 #size-cells = <1>; 2877 #interrupt-cells = <2>; 2878 device_type = "soc"; 2879 ranges = <00000000 e0000000 00100000> 2880 reg = <e0000000 00003000>; 2881 bus-frequency = <0>; 2882 2883 mdio@24520 { 2884 reg = <24520 20>; 2885 device_type = "mdio"; 2886 compatible = "gianfar"; 2887 2888 ethernet-phy@0 { 2889 linux,phandle = <2452000> 2890 interrupt-parent = <40000>; 2891 interrupts = <35 1>; 2892 reg = <0>; 2893 device_type = "ethernet-phy"; 2894 }; 2895 2896 ethernet-phy@1 { 2897 linux,phandle = <2452001> 2898 interrupt-parent = <40000>; 2899 interrupts = <35 1>; 2900 reg = <1>; 2901 device_type = "ethernet-phy"; 2902 }; 2903 2904 ethernet-phy@3 { 2905 linux,phandle = <2452002> 2906 interrupt-parent = <40000>; 2907 interrupts = <35 1>; 2908 reg = <3>; 2909 device_type = "ethernet-phy"; 2910 }; 2911 2912 }; 2913 2914 ethernet@24000 { 2915 #size-cells = <0>; 2916 device_type = "network"; 2917 model = "TSEC"; 2918 compatible = "gianfar"; 2919 reg = <24000 1000>; 2920 mac-address = [ 00 E0 0C 00 73 00 ]; 2921 interrupts = <d 3 e 3 12 3>; 2922 interrupt-parent = <40000>; 2923 phy-handle = <2452000>; 2924 }; 2925 2926 ethernet@25000 { 2927 #address-cells = <1>; 2928 #size-cells = <0>; 2929 device_type = "network"; 2930 model = "TSEC"; 2931 compatible = "gianfar"; 2932 reg = <25000 1000>; 2933 mac-address = [ 00 E0 0C 00 73 01 ]; 2934 interrupts = <13 3 14 3 18 3>; 2935 interrupt-parent = <40000>; 2936 phy-handle = <2452001>; 2937 }; 2938 2939 ethernet@26000 { 2940 #address-cells = <1>; 2941 #size-cells = <0>; 2942 device_type = "network"; 2943 model = "FEC"; 2944 compatible = "gianfar"; 2945 reg = <26000 1000>; 2946 mac-address = [ 00 E0 0C 00 73 02 ]; 2947 interrupts = <19 3>; 2948 interrupt-parent = <40000>; 2949 phy-handle = <2452002>; 2950 }; 2951 2952 serial@4500 { 2953 device_type = "serial"; 2954 compatible = "ns16550"; 2955 reg = <4500 100>; 2956 clock-frequency = <0>; 2957 interrupts = <1a 3>; 2958 interrupt-parent = <40000>; 2959 }; 2960 2961 pic@40000 { 2962 linux,phandle = <40000>; 2963 clock-frequency = <0>; 2964 interrupt-controller; 2965 #address-cells = <0>; 2966 reg = <40000 40000>; 2967 built-in; 2968 compatible = "chrp,open-pic"; 2969 device_type = "open-pic"; 2970 big-endian; 2971 }; 2972 2973 i2c@3000 { 2974 interrupt-parent = <40000>; 2975 interrupts = <1b 3>; 2976 reg = <3000 18>; 2977 device_type = "i2c"; 2978 compatible = "fsl-i2c"; 2979 dfsrr; 2980 }; 2981 2982 };
