The GIC also includes a free-running +global timer, per-CPU count/compare timers, and a watchdog. + +Required properties: +- compatible : Should be "mti,gic". +- interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller +- #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an + interrupt specifier. Should be 3. + - The first cell is the type of interrupt, local or shared. + See <include/dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/mips-gic.h>. + - The second cell is the GIC interrupt number. + - The third cell encodes the interrupt flags. + See <include/dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/irq.h> for a list of valid + flags. + +Optional properties: +- reg : Base address and length of the GIC registers. If not present, + the base address reported by the hardware GCR_GIC_BASE will be used. +- mti,reserved-cpu-vectors : Specifies the list of CPU interrupt vectors + to which the GIC may not route interrupts. Valid values are 2 - 7. + This property is ignored if the CPU is started in EIC mode. + +Required properties for timer sub-node: +- compatible : Should be "mti,gic-timer". +- interrupts : Interrupt for the GIC local timer. +- clock-frequency : Clock frequency at which the GIC timers operate. + +Example: + + gic: interrupt-controller@1bdc0000 { + compatible = "mti,gic"; + reg = <0x1bdc0000 0x20000>; + + interrupt-controller; + #interrupt-cells = <3>; + + mti,reserved-cpu-vectors = <7>; + + timer { + compatible = "mti,gic-timer"; + interrupts = <GIC_LOCAL 1 IRQ_TYPE_NONE>; + clock-frequency = <50000000>; + }; + }; + + uart@18101400 { + ... + interrupt-parent = <&gic>; + interrupts = <GIC_SHARED 24 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>; + ... + }; |
